Last year I tried to get a nice picture fron underneath my lazy susans. Remembering that I wanted to replace those, I looked under this flower. The willow fly(?) was nice and posed for his picture. The overcast sky provided a mostly white background for me. IMO this meets the challenge composition wise and because the fly looks like he's balanced on the blade of grass.
I cloned out a couple of bits of leaves on the right and one part on the left, dodged under the flower a bit and cropped.

The bug might be balancing, It's a stretch for me. For me, the photograph has a lot of distracting elements and is mostly out of focus. The background, while giving it sort of a high key look, is hard for me to look at.

meets the challenge and gets the viewer interested but the out of focus area distracts a little.

Yeah! I like the from-below flower shots! Nice composition, color.

I would have liked it better with a closer crop that gets rid of the blury leaf in the foreground. That is distracting to me. The flower is beautiful and I love the background. The bug fits the challenge.

Great shot! I like the lines and how they draw the eye throughtout the photo. Your use of baklighting and a low pov really help to emphasize scale. Very nice ... 8
