This is a very Ugly flower I know, But I saw the black bug on there and tried the capture it.Then noticed the other tiny bugs. Tell me what you think and what I should work on...I have not edited this picture.

Shot taken with Sigma 70-300mm at 300mm-Macro mode/ Not the APO one

Looks out of focus to me, it doesn't really look like a macro shot. My eyes don't know where to go.

To soft, a shot like that would have never made it on to my computer. It would have been deleted immediately.

You do not have enough light to properly take this shot, you're already @ ISO 3200 at a relatively slow SS with a f/5.6 that is to wide open to give enough DOF.
Plus you seem to have some camera and/or subject movement...visit our talk and share macro section.
