To me, the majority of this picture is too bright.

The lighting here is very harsh, tends to make it over exposed.

The rock is a little over exposed.

imho too light... the texture of what the ladybug is on is not shown to the best

This macro lacks clarity/focus, and needs some better composition to bring this critter into better light. Cool idea.

amusing, but lack of focus on the bug lets it down...
