Great catch! This is a fun photo to look at. The water indentations are very cool.
I took a peek at the cropped version of this and have to say that I think the composition is actually stronger with the leaf than without. The leaf adds a sense of scale and context. Additionally, as you pointed out in your notes on the cropped version, you do get more noise taking away more pixels. Some NI (neat image - software noise reduction program) could help clean up the noise on the bug, even in this non-cropped version.
It seems that your focal point was hitting on the actual water marks and not the bug. You haven't filled in the aperture/shutter/iso sections of the photo info...I'm guessing it was shallow (F2.8 to 3.5?). If you had the focus on the bug's back or head, with F8 or so aperture (maybe even F5.6), you would have the bug and the water in focus with slight blurring of the leaf.
Just some observations. :) BTW, I like the way you vote! ;P |

For Tom! |
