So annoying that this lovely green fly (is it a bluebottle?) landed on a michaelmas daisy with a broken petal! But, I loved the colours so much that I decided to go ahead and upload it!
Thanks for looking and for your time - comments and criticisms are welcome.

It has a lot of charm despite the broken petal, Ann, and the fly's iridescence is beautifully captured.
i think the broken petal makes the image more interesting
such a bold coloured bloom and love the colours of the fly
well done a fine capture it comes off the screen right at you love the colours and the soft background seperation nice one
Graham
Lovely capture and a great addition in that colourful fly 
Helen
Brilliant Ann, I have no choice but to give you my award once again. WELL DONE that Girl
John
Unlike your very pretty little fly, you were wearing a black jacket at Brenzett... 
Moira
Lovely colour contrast here, and good use of shallow dof.
I do love to see the odd damaged petal; it reminds me that I have a few of my own
Regards
Bill
Beautiful image Ann, fabulous colours and excellent detail, quite stunning
Hugh
Tremendous image and all the more so with a zoom lens too. Flowers keep becoming to me, maybe sooner than I had planned.
Dougie
Dof is spot on, Ann, sharp, well composed and the colour of the fly is the cream.
Dave
I'm no macro expert that ticks all the boxes and more for me, Ann. Superb.
Alun
LOL...when I first looked at the image before reading your descrip, I went, "Oh-hoooh my goodness" at what a grand shot it is. Timing-wise, colour-wise...and c'mon...that fly!!
Then I read your descrip.
Ann, I can't speak for everyone but that broken petal is COMPLETELY inconsequential. You've captured Nature at its best - the pairing of two beauts
Andrew
A fabulous close macro Ann, the detail and colours are simply glorious. You should be glad that your little visitor dropped by he made the clicks fly in for this one!
