Hi Bas, Freaky looking fly. Doesn't it's head look out of proportion to it's body? What lens did you use?

basflt

i cropped it in order to make the fly look big
the fly was about 8 mm in real

i use a nikon D60 with nikon micro 105 mm lens
in the past i tried extension tubes and a teleconverter , but
i prefere just the lens

Welcome to the forum. Its a really great group here.
Nice capture and an unusual subject. It may be slightly underexposed and when you brightened it you got some noise which caused it to appear soft. The other possibility is like was said above, a little to much crop.
Either way its a pretty nice capture. I tend to use extension tubes with good results on my Canon 100mm Macro. I never like tele-converters. Seems like you lose to much quality with them. At least I do. Keep on shooting and keep on posting. Ready to see more.

thanks for reply's
the reason it looks soft is i have no flash , yet
when i buy one , i will try the tupes & converters again

edit ;
btw
cropping does not change image-quality ,only resizing does
cropping is ideal for altering composition
[ in this case (pic#1) ; moved the head to the third line ]

Cropping then enlarging the remaining image to a larger size does.
