Good work. But I think the focus is off a bit.

Actually, I think the bug is in focus, but the petal behind it isn't. Shallow DOF I guess. I'll see what I can do in Lightroom.

Yes, I think you are right. The same is probably true for the orchid shot. These kind of flower shots are always a challenge.
