Its a decent macro with nice yellow against the green background but I find myself more interested in the flower and background than the insect, sorry

A very good example of (yet) another bug macro. Well executed, with a good composition. I wouldn't mind seeing more of the bug. Perhas experiment with a somewhat tighter crop.

I would like to see the bug just a bit sharper but I really like the overall diagonal.
