Hornet in Hiding

That score does seem a bit low.

I think it would have been better to have more of his face (head) in focus. As it is you have one eye and part of the antennas. I think that is a waste of your focus plane, which is already limited by shooting in macro.

Perhaps you were trying to show the hornet as hiding before it attacks, but the huge flower at the bottom half of the picture is unnecessary. If you can get a closer crop, I would crop more of the flower.

I don't have much success with macros myself, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

As she lay her head in her hand, giving one final smile, she was also weary. Although she loved being in front of the camera, she was missing her favorite show, and her legs were sore, and her underwear was riding, and she was getting kind of hungry and she really liked those fruit snacks you know those ones that looked like dinosaurs and maybe she kind of wanted peanut butter crackers but maybe not because they were out of milk and boy daddy is taking a long time with this shot and I wonder what Haley is doing right now maybe she's playing at the park boy I'd love to go the park right now I'll have to ask oh look there's a fly in here I sure don't like flies what time is it I wonder if...
