This one has a sense of tension because of the angle, of course.
The macro is great, but the angle makes it a little difficult to look at the insect more closely and that's what I want to look at because it appears to be most interesting.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

composition - subject placed on upper right third perched on a diagonal line, background blurred beyond recognition leaving all attention on the subject, sharp focus on the fly, dof is very good leaving the background so blurred like that, however you do have some of the stem just outside the focal plane above the fly. If you were playing with composition, Kristof, you nailed it.
I'm very far behind in my comments due to some recent family issues so please forgive this generic comment. I have viewed this image and found it to be very good. I didn't want to pass it by with out mentioning it's beauty. Thank you for sharing it with us. You have created a very beautiful image and I envy your talent. I hope to view more of your work and give a more personal comment in the near future. Your images are awsome. Wonderful macro detail. Canon camera?

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

where's his climbing belt and helmet? ;-) i think i prefer this angle..it suggests action and tension. the same shot in a landscape orientation would've felt more like...a pose. excellent close-up!
