Alfredo, I love that you got right up in his face but a little more room all around wouldn't hurt. I also think it would be nice if you went back and did a selective sharpening on the actual eye as it doesn't look as crisp as the antennae and the rest of him.

Again...there's a lot of flash evidence along his body and the perch...backing down a bit wouldn't hurt and would make your insect images look much more realistic from a photography standpoint.

Nice details. I agree about the tightness and would prefer a little less flash.

Hey Alfredo, I don't mind the tight crop, but agree with Jules on some extra sharpening and the hot spots from the flash.
