Eric, your nice comment on my image got us both on the front page! What a treat, I appreciate the publicity!
And congrats to you for the acknowledgement of your critique.
I like your leetle beetle here. You can tell that he is absorbed into his own beetle world, happily munching his way across the flower. The slope of the flower petal and the serendipity of the beetle facing downslope gives a real feeling of movement. I wouldn't change one thing about this.

Wow Eric! You are the Macro-God!
My eye doesn't seem to stick on the beetle,it wants to drift over to the middle of the flower. Tough composition.
Thank goodness for the highlights on his back too! He may get lost otherwise!

Its kewl, nice tight shot, good motion from the petals in the frame, the colors work. Soft yes, we know the score on that one, think the major problem is the contrast is way high, black is so black, highlights are hot, obviously your raw file wont have these problems so its just a web delivery issue. I know its silly to obey the rule of 3rds but having lil mr bug in the middle does seem a lil simplistic here, but anyway, more good than bad here, the image wins out in the end

Seems to me that the bug or bee on a flower doesn't seem to capture the interest of too many here on Usefilm... maybe because they are so small compared to some of the other macro bug shots out there. (I uploaded a bee and flower yesterday but hardly anyone has looked at it. :( )
I like the centre of the flower as an anchor in this image.... although I think that there is too much extra flower after the beetle. A crop would give the beetle a little more attention, I think.
For being handheld I think the sharpness is fine... the beetle is full of detail. Love the highlights on his back!
