The lighting on the gerbera is strong. The small bits of baby's breath are a bit distracting to me, especially the stem coming in from the top left.

I can't find the bug? Is it the small dark spot on the lower right of the flower? Anyway, I voted a little below average for this because of the harsh lighting and my attention always goes to the underside of that one leaf that is in focus. It seems to grab my attention I guess because the flower isn't as sharp. The light seems so harsh on the flower...The tie to "life" is lost on me because I can't find the bug...so it just seems like a snap shot of a flower.

I like the composition and colors and the good seperation from the background.

Nice simple image but lacks any real wow factor - and there are no bugs.

The light is a bit harsh in this one, try diffusing it somehow or just angling it away from the actual subject.

Maybe I'm being a bit blind but given the title I expected a bug in there someehwere. I'd like a bit more detail in the petals

Sweet color contrast. Somehow, the undersides of the leaves is distracting to me. That's just a personial view. It's still a good photo. The dark behind the flower is good.
