Reason: I have been practicing on houseflies since I first got my 150mm. Different lighting techniques and all, and this IMO is the best of them all. Good quality and EV. Subject deserves a FP.

Weak oppose for the distracting object lower left that is clipping the subject. You have a lot of much better macros of much rarer flies on this very page so the most common one of all should really be up to the same standard. Mfield (Oi!) 04:36, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Reason says "Subject deserves a FP". Not to prejudice this nom, but for the record the subject has several FPs (check images in article). --jjron (talk) 14:33, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I meant FP for the one complete housefly. We have a portrait and a mating pic, but no complete body shot. --Muhammad(talk) 15:01, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Fair enough - couldn't remember that specifically with all the other flies... :-) --jjron (talk) 07:57, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Mfield. Shouldn't be too hard to do better. Noodle snacks (talk) 05:12, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
