I love the macro, but this shot seems to not be in focus. I can't tell which part was meant to be the centre of focus here, and that detracts from the shot, sadly. I like the colours and composition though, good choices!

I really would have liked to see a shot of the entire body of this creature. DOF is very good.

the subject is pretty good for the cover but not sharp enough...

Just a tiiiiny bit too blurry to make it on the front cover, IMO. I know how hard it is to get a good bug shot in focus :)

This would have been a nice macro shot but the bug moved and you had the wrong setting or you move. Either case the bug is a little blurry.

Looks like it's slightly out of focus. Other that that it's a great pic.

Hmm, assuming a special on bugs, okay, that makes sense with the title. I don't know your magazine well enough to judge how likely this is, so I'll leave it be.

It's an interesting close-up, though I'm not sure I would have chosen to crop so much of the wings out. The focus is fairly good, seems to blur a bit more at the bottom than I think ideal. The crop is very good to account for cover copy and logo, and the focal blur helps with that. Maybe just a -touch- on the bright side.
