A great image with immaculate details in the bug. I like the cropping with the center of the flower well located and the colors are superb.

You did a great job. I love how close you got to the stamen and how you can see every little detail. The bug adds an interesting pop of color as well. Well done! Your focus, framing, and lighting are all very good :) Thanks for sharing :)

A great capture of the avocado green bug in excellent contrast to the pink zinnia bloom in a nice close up.
Soft shadows add dramatic effect.
Thanks for sharing.
