Thumbs up MACRO!!!......with 18-55

Helloo Everyone!!

Yesterday i found a fly lying dead on the window pane. Not sure what killed it and i was about to flick it away when i realized i have a camera...and that too a dslr!! But unfortunately i dont have a Macro Lens Anyways i'll still give it a try i thought.
So, armed with a flashlight to light the fly and my camera, i started clicking.
Hope you like it!! and comments and feedbacks always welcome!!!

Cheers,
Zoheb.

Im really sorry if i hurt anyones sentiments but that was really not my intention. I would have LOVED to photograph this alive, midway in the flight, wings flapping and trust me THAT would be much much awsome than these shots. But unfortuanetly, i couldnt AND IM A NATURE LOVER TOOO...TO THE CORE!!!

Cheers,
Zoheb.
