Looks like you got a little surprise with the flower. :smile:
Nice details and colors, I would have like a different crop, (Not so centered) but nicely done as is. :wavey:

This is the crop where I could see the bug the best, I think.

If you pretend the bug flew in through the black rectangle on the left as though it were an open window you might get a better sense of where I was with this one. And the triangle in the back is an "eye," of course.

Nice detail and vivid color. I have noticed most of your images are very centered. Have you tried cropping using the 1/3 rule as guide?

I crop where the image has the most meaning for me, Gary. Much depends on the background and other elements in the image. I feel like I'm in a transitionary stage at the moment. It'll be interesting to see where it goes.
