First I was a bit dissappointed about the minimum macro distance on my new Canon G5, but 5 Mpixel solves it. Unfortunately the focus was majorly on the wild strawberry and not on the beetle. This picture has been cropped, downsized to DpChallenge rules and a bit boosted in saturation.

Hi guys! Thanks for your comments on this picture. I should have titled it "Wildberry bug". I knew the berry could be taken for a flower which would violate submission rules. I guess the photo wasn't that unique - as first post says "Bug on flower". Anyway - thanks for your comments. I have them in mind in future; rule of thirds (a bit more "uncentered"), lower contrast and lighten up background.
Not a beetle, Its actually is a bug! Makes a refreshing change from calling beetles bugs. A young sheildbug or squashbug. Pic needs some composition, everything is just stuck in the middle, try rule of thirds.
The shot in my opinion, could have been improved by two things. one- a less shallow dof and two, i think theres too much contrast- maybe a fill in flash to soften the shadows in the background. 4
