    Very nice use of the flash - as the image does not look "flashed." I like the pleasing curve of the stem and you got all the insects within your DOF. I might wish that the front of the flower head was sharp - but that's not in the cards at this magnification unless you were to use stacked images. Very well done!

    A tighter crop (possibly vertical) might place a larger emphasis on the insect, if that's your main subject (in my opinion)
