I am looking at this picture and basing my suggestions as if it *could* have been edited. I fully understand that with this ruleset, it wasn't possible, so if I say things you already know, I apologize in advance.
Compositionally, the bug is too much in the center, and this causes the image to be static. I think for this image, cropping it with the bug in the upper right with the stick leading down and through the image would be most effective. Having said that, the fact that the left and right parts of the image are of different color and texture, and they are separated by a diagonal line, helps this image tremendously. The diagonal line gives it some "motion" and the diagonal line adds interest.
Technically, you have some wonderful textures in this shot, and they contrast nicely. I understand that the shallow dof was largely unavoidable, but I think if the stick (?) was more in focus, it would be an even stronger image.
The contrast, brightness, etc. is very good, especially considering no post-processing has been done.
If I need to further clarify myself, please feel free to contact me.
