Great composition. I like how the bug's wings match the red in the flower, broken up by the contrasting body. Thorax? Whatever... And the dof is nice, too. The frame may be a bit much, but a very good shot nonetheless.

The only thing that might make this photo better is to get rid of the extra space at the top of this shot. Good focus good light=7 Kevin

So, despite this being a bug & bloom shot, you've made it into my top 5 ;) Actually, I've been known to like bugs & blooms. You met the challenge (twice). I love that you've only included a quarter of the flower, that the white petals blur a bit towards the background and that your bug has red wings to match the flower!!! Plus, the sharpness and focus is tack-on. Border and background both compliment the shot nicely. Nothing I would change, a shot I would've been proud to take. :)

Very impressive. I love the red wings! Is the bug dead?

The bug looks a little on the dead side. Interesting colors though.

Too much space above the bug. Why not just a tight crop oon the bug? Neat shot.
