They look "oversharpened" or "Too digital"? It's like not enough contrast
mixed with too much sharpening. Not sure what the -exact- problem is but
it's too distracting to get past that part of the images to enjoy what
might be there.

Also the content isn't tight enough, you need to crop out the extraneous
stuff to get the focus on the actual content. I like stuff shot tight.
Just my opinion on what might improve your work. This "shooting loose" is
a comon mistake. Here's an example of what I mean by shooting "tight".

I am curioius--was the fly purely fortuitious or were there large numbers of
them out that day so that you knew that eventually one would light in your
field of view or did you spend a great deal of effort stalking him?
