I like the fact that your focus is right on the spot, I find it difficult to focus on moving subjects =(

Congrats on your first entry, you got a nice score.

I thinks you did a good use of DOF, wich helps to isolate your subject, though I migh have worked better if you have filled the frame a bit more with your subject to show more detail, also, the focus seems a bit off, this might have something to do with your shutter speed, since theses little guys tend to move fast, you need a faster shutter speed.

About the editing, you might want to try lowering a bit the saturations on the greens.

I hope this helps.

I think you did a good job in use a narrow DOF, isolating you subject and making it stand out. By looking at you setting I can see that you were shooting in low light, wich has caused some noise on your background, I would also have prefered a smother transition between the two colors. Sometimes it's better to wait for a better light condition, so you can use a lower ISO and a faster shutter wich will allow you to get a sharper image.

Now about the composition, I think is pleasing, but it might work better if you fill the frame a bit more with your subject and moving it a little bit more to one of the sides, instead of entering the frame exactly by the corner.

I hope this helps.
