I wouldn't be disappointed with that hand held and no flash! Is it a crop? Composition might have been better without the feelers cut off even if they are OOF. Gives the bug 'somewhere to go' with a bit more space on the right.

Guess the flower could be a dog rose? but what do I know about flowers :LOL:
 
Yeh it is a crop hang on will put up a slightly less tight cropped one

all PP was levels and crop in PS

The bug is a Oedemera nobilis, or better known as the Thick-legged Flower Beetle. I found out earlier as I have a photo of the same thing posted just below your thread lol

Oh and yours is a female as apparently only the males have thick back legs - my shot was the male where as yours has much thinner legs combared to it so I was very clever and put two and two together there...lol :D
