It may well be my monitor but the green cast is showing and is somewhat overpowering what appears to be very good image.

Paul,

A nice image but I have to agree with Barry the green is overpowering.

Nit covered Paul - looks like you had some harsh light to contend with but well done for sticking with it a coming away with something.

Cheers,
Chris

The green effect is strong Paul but looking at the white of the flower there doesn't look to be a cast (not on this works monitor anyway).

nice image would have been better with a better background but I know we can t always have that

Agree with the above comments. perhaps just too much saturation, if it was toned down it might work alot better.

I think that what looks like strong sunshine hasn't helped you here Paul. It all looks a bit harsh and over-saturated to me as well, although I suspect that is what was in front of you at the time. Using the tc has let you get a bit further back which appears to have helped the Dof and I like the forget me not - it's a nice touch. There really isn't much substitute for a bright overcast morning when it comes to insect photography.
