Too much contrast. Plus, there is no real clear focus to the pic

In this very busy image you've done two things to simplify - narrow DOF to blurr the background and isolate the subject, and desaturate to draw attention. But my eyes are draw two ways - the bright desaturated flower - and then the dragon fly which is not at first apparent. I think desaturating the dragon fly would work better - or desaturate all the plant life - show how plant and animal life are different...

A little too dark to be able to discern detail. The bug gets camoflaged in the background and composition is a bit too cluttered.

messy composition. Need to think what you are trying to show, what the subject is. I see a distracting background, a damselfly facing sideways, a messy flower. Subject totally unclear to me and no impact.

the colors are off and the broken stem right across the main image is distracting

Lots of potential but the focus is soft on your subject and the background is way too busy.

this seems so cluttered that I can hardly make out what it is.

At least on my monitor, this is pretty dark. I am afraid I am losing the significance of the various elements in the picture. It is vry busy and gives my eye no place to rest.
