The monochromatic color scheme in this shot is beautiful! The bug gets a little lost in the brightness of the leaves, but I really like the details. I might consider a tighter crop- at least to remove the dark area at the bottom.

Looks like pretty harsh lighting condition and you did a good job getting the critter exposed. Ideally a diffuser would have helped but that is probably too much to carry together with the fishing gear. Alternatively a polarizer may be useful here to reduce the specular reflection.
