Hi Lewynn!

Looks very good to me!

Love the water droplets in this one!

The edges of the green leafs contrasts nicely with the soft background, nice ladybug pose and composition

A tighter crop would make this shot even better:

I like the combination if the two, and the reflection works well here:

I like it, but I'd try a bigger diffuser on the flash. I used a milky white diffused plastic bag. Compared to the bug it's like a cloudy sky to it. It will create nice soft highlights

Very nice composition of the three bugs, it's like the two are gossiping about the third

Nice mix of colors. Again I'd use a bigger diffuser.

I've looked through the macro's I shot on the same day as the one with the forget-me-not flowers. Turned out I didn't process one that I like now, and have post processed it and focus stacked (I took two with varying distances).
