The backround lighting is too harsh as there is some wrap around.

Cute. The white balance seems a little blue.

The crop seems a bit tight on your subjects, the lighting is a bit flat, good choice of a background

It looks like alot of effort has been put into this photo, and it is very good. To improve I think that you cropped it too tightly in on the sides, so to take that back just a bit. :-)

rotate about five degrees clockwise, it would look much better level.

Wow, this is lovely! I was checking in on you to see how you're doing and to see what kind of work you are doing these days. This shot is just so nice - the lighting is excellent and the colors are so pretty. You got it nice and sharp too, it's amazing how there is so much detail in the purple and white spikes of the flower. Good job, keep it up!

Hi from the Critique Club!

There isn't much I can say that hasn't been said by commenters already but I'll try...

Fit: It has bugs so it fits the challenge!

Composition: The "subject" is quite centered and low in the frame. The extra space around the castle doesn't seem to do anything to enhance the image. Getting in closer to fill the frame more may have helped make the bugs stand out more too. It also feel like a leaning castle, is it vertical?

Technical: The lighting is a bit flat. It can be hard to walk the fine line between flat lighting and nasty reflections but in this case we needed more light to pick out the bugs from the castle. You have to really look at the image to find all the bugs.

Feel: I love the idea, antyhing out of the norm is good in my book.

PM me if you have any queries.
