There are those who will give you grief over your narrow dof.
They can go and get knotted.
The viewer's attention is held by the head of the insect and the shapes sticking out of the flower (whatever the technical terms may be..).
The softened detail smoothly rounds out the picture, without interfering with what matters.
In all, you've succeeded in painting a beautiful picture with colours and shapes, while saying what needed to be said with this outstanding photo.
Good luck!
*10*
(And I really do mean knotted...)

Though the subject is not completely in focus, the flower structure allows for this. Great shot.
