Murat, wellcome abord!
This is an excellent image, only I can find some hair small transparency issues.
I also like the BW selective conversion, not very naturalistic but effective.
This doesn't seem at all a beginner work and isn't likely your fist photo but your first post here. No need to post in the beguinners forum
, just my opinion.

That makes three of us. I will move this thread to the regular Technical and Studio section after Murat has a chance to reply. It definitely looks out of place here in Beginners Macro.
Murat, welcome aboard!
What more can you tell us about how this image was shot and processed? We are always interested in lighting, focus stepping mechanism, software, retouching, etc.

It is very well done.
Usually at this magnification Helicon gives quite a few halos. But in this image they are obvious only around the eye, where the short bristles at the rim of the eye completely hide other bristles on the body behind them. Probably there are other places too, but they would not be obvious unless the result here was compared against a different result such as Zerene Stacker PMax.
Your English sounds good to me, but thanks for letting us know. If I write things that you don't understand, please tell me so that I can try again. My German is awful, but sometimes I can write better English if I try very hard.

Very good start as everybody says, I specially like how clean the hairs look, Normally I have much trouble with transparency issues
At 3:1 usingt f5.6 help avoiding those traspancies/halo issues without going to much into difraction territory
With this kind of macro do you use full RAWs or sRAWs?in case you use RAW

You know, I just realized this must be a very large fly or the image has been cropped a lot.
At 3:1 on a 7D, the field width at subject is over 7 mm. But we are seeing only perhaps the front 1/3 of the fly. Scaling up, the whole fly would be something like 20 mm long.
Have I messed up the calculation? How big is this fly??

My subjective reactions were very positive on this interesting photo.
Setting aside technical details that others can address much more effectively, I really enjoyed the lighting, the interesting shadows, and the overall texture of the anatomical details.
I can't be more explicit, but there really seems to be something unusual about the style of the lighting for this photo...and I personally like it a great deal!
