Cool shot. I'm impressed that you captured as still as you did at 1/250!! Colors are brilliant. Well done.

The bud is very sharp though with nice details. It's so sharp (in comparison) that it makes it seem that the bud is your subject vice the fly.

That's because the bud was stationary and the fly was not.... It's not easy capturing moving subjects like insects in macro since the DOF is so limited...As it was, I had focused on the bud in hopes of an insect coming into view...

Agreed - so difficult that I wouldn't even try it.
