Good sharp insect Pete.If it had been photographed lower in the frame you could have lost some of that rather bright leaf that it is sat on and that would also have helped the composition,as the insect would have been pointing up into more space above.
You say cropped,so maybe it can still be portrayed in that way.

I think Phil's comments above have summed up my thoughts too Pete.

nicely taken Pete, nice and sharp. My only nit would be that the leaves are a little bright, particularly on the right hand side.

I agree with Matt, maybe if you could have cast a shadow over the subject it may have helped reduce the glare of the bright part of the day.
