Dead housefly on a paper towel in sharp light

I have had this 60mm macro lens for about ten years. I have never liked it. Resultingly, I've been considering springing for a really expensive macro to replace it.

I'd be a fool to do so. And I'd be an even more foolish fool if I did so without spending some time trying to make the best of the macro lens I do have.

Thus this picture, of a dead fly I found on the floor under a window.

I will throw the fly out soon, now that I have photographed it. Being dead it has some rather unattractive aspects that a living fly does not have, or perhaps a more freshly dead one. I'll keep my eyes open for such a windfall. I do like the looks of most flies and such.
