What a perfect picture! But what a disgusting creature! :-) Your work is great. Well done. Bravo.

It seems I'm first critiquer for you. I hope it will be lucky. Welcome to TN. Thanks.

Nice picture to start with, Phil!
The critter is a blowfly, Lucilia sp. (Calliphoridae). There's a link to the discussion on bubble blowing in flies, maybe you'd like to learn more about this phenomenon: http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=16&thread_id=1016

I would also suggest using smaller aperture/bigger f-stop number for better DOF.

Best regards,
Dmitry

P.S. Thanks for adding me to your Favorites, yet I'm afraid you'll discover that there's plenty of more experienced authors @ TN.
