I don't know, but this shot might have looked better rotated 180 degrees. Great job on focussing on the little blood sucker. Nice colours too. Good work.

Is there really a heaven for these monsters? This is an awesome macro with wonderful DOF. Only suggestion I have is a matter of personal preference....I would have tried not to "chop" off the end of the leaf on the border. Good job!

Good application of DOF. Does the leaf really look like that? It looks like it's out of focus but the mosquito isn't.

Not quite sure what the problem is (light prbably, it usually is), but there's a lack of detail in the little monster - and even, to a lesser extent in the leaf. Perhaps a sligh camera movement? Cunningly reduced with sharpening perhaps, but there isn't that pop of definition that one would look for.
