Fly on toadstool

Taken last Autumn in Barna Woods while getting absolutely savaged by midges.The fly was kind enough to remain motionless while I set up my kit and took a relatively long exposure image. I was holding the flash high to the left of camera and it was triggered by radio from the camera (which meant the light from the flash illuminated the background as well as the foreground).

Camera= Canon 5D, lens = Sigma 180m macro, aperture=f18, speed = 1 sec, ISO=200, tripod, off-camera flash.
