Nice one with a good background. Colors looked a little warm thou.

Very nice colour and good detail.

Maybe a little cropping to avoid the slightly 'hot' area at the bottom left of pic would make it perfect.

Nice composition.

Pure ambient light?

Yup. This fly is highly sensitive to flash. Got to turn it off and underexposed a little to get that shutter speed. Luckily I am using RAW.

But this shot doesn't look underexposed to me. I see, PS saves..

For RAW files, u can still adjust the exposure slightly during raw conversion so can help a little.

Alright. Good decision to turn off the flash as you've managed to capture more ambient light for the background.

This is a tough shot. Great work here.
The foreground corner blurs is a bit distracting though.
