    I might have called the image "the rose", as this is the dominant element in the image. The fly, that I had to look for.

    Manfred, if I called it the rose you would have missed the fly.
    Thanks, Maurice

    Lovely rendering, the background compliments the rose beautifully.

    Re: The fly

    How about "fly on rose"?

    I like it, but I would crop it tighter--a bit on the top, and quite a bit on the left. The background is rather busy and distracting, so removing some of it would help. You might try adding some blur to the background too.

    Dan, you have come up with a good answer to fly or rose.The back ground is a little busy. I have never used the blur tool in ps. Will try it.
    Thanks for advice and comment, Maurice

    The title made me smile, the lighting is lovely on the fly's landing place.

    You might try adding some blur to the background too and/or desaturation (of the green) without influence on the rose.
