I guess these are aphids munching on these two little flowers...the blooms were about the size of a thumbnail each. :)

The presence of the bugs makes this a a floral shot that is a little different. I don't know why more floral shots don't include bugs when they go together in nature. I took some similar shots over the weekend, but I don't think I got one quite so clear and crisp.

the shadow on the upper right corner of the flower is a little distracting, other then that i love all those little bugs!

I think that the yellow border really helps to make this a beautiful photo. Nice job.

Great depth of field and the bugs add interest. Do not think the yellow border works though.

Two blooms, 9 bugs, and a few buds. I am not fully getting the even sense here, but it is a nice image with very nice DOF.

Nice colours. However, I'd have preferred it without the flies.

Nice composition, but I don't like the border.

Good depth of field, and a good subject, however... 1)no bugs unless the bugs are the focus of the photograph 2)Composition? Lots of empty space. Try a square or make the subjects slightly larger in the frame 3)No border. Would you hang a photo on the wall with a border like that? If a border is a must, go with white. 4) Color has blown out the detail in the pedals. Rich detail is what makes an engaging photo. Don't saturate it quite so much and carfully manage the levels curve. 5)Color balance it away from yellow a little... magenta could use a slight boost as could blue. Please don't take these the wrong way... I love the cluster of flowers (and actually this would make a beautiful fine art monochrome photo) but just try the suggestions and see what happens!
