Great detail on this and I like the colors and textures, you can see the inconsistency of the make up of the wing that you would not see this close. That said I thnk you might have gotten too close and showing a bit more of the pattern might have made a more colorful and inviting image as this looks a bit clinical as is. But I let the detail factor override some of that.

WOW. you really did get up close and personal didn't you? DOF could probably be improved. the outer limits of the photo is slightly out of focus but other than that, it's an amazing macro shot. 9 from me.
