A nicely captured image. Good colour and centre of interest appears to be reasonably sharp. Lighting rather flat. Suggest crop the top third of the image and also a large portion off the right hand side - this will centre interest on the insect and flower.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Billy,
I like what you've done to the background, it works for me but all that empty space on the right really needs to go (my opinion only). You could try it in portrait but I think a squarish crop would work better with a simple boarder round the image.
Billy boarders very easily added by going to "Image" > "Resize" > "Canvas Size" increase the the canvas which will in effect add a boarder by altering the sizes in the Width and Height boxes, making sure that you increase both the width & height by the same a mount.
To change the color of the added canvas, choose an option from the Canvas Extension Color menu and click OK.
In the mod I first increased the canvas and selected the colour white then I increased the canvas size again but this time selected the colour black.
Although i'm not a lover of boarders it can enhance some images. Have a play Billy.
Take care
Martin
Hello Billy, I have done a mod for You too, I have croppped away some of the bg to give a fuller frame, a lot of the bg was not needed, I rotated the image just slightly and altered the exposure and colour a little and finished with a sharpen, Hope you like it, but I do like Martins mod, looks great with the border
