a really beautiful composition. I love the depth of colour you achieved. Sometimes the shallow DOF can be a hindrance with macro but here it works really well to throw the background into green haze.. The blur with insects may not be to do with shutter speed but rather the shallow DOF or with autofocus not responding quickly enough.

Go to the forums and prepare to spend inordinate amounts of time and money chasing a moving target of focus and DOF. Flash and diffusion, specialized lenses, image stacking and more. I now have an optics lab in my living room, just waiting for more time to tinker. Good luck, you'll need it.....
Alif, you also need to be patient and learn to anticipate some movement. Most insects have some innate rhythm and repetition. I may treat myself to a macro for spring.
@osophotography Macro work has it advantages (detail and shallow DOF) and it is has its disadvantages (shallow DOF, slow auto-focus, needs a lot of light).
If I had one thing to to point out about this image, it would be to look for how more light could get inside the flower.
@dbennett1882 Thanks :D I'll try to get more light next time, so the shutter will be faster. @robv Thanks for the link! @mastermek Patience, got it! I'm gonna make more time for my next shot @welcometocarolworld Yes,I will. Thanks :) @padlock Thanks :D @cnlane Thank you :) @chapjohn It was cloudy so I couldn't get sunlight as much as a sunny day. Hopefully,I'll get that perfect light. Thanks so much @justjim Thanks! @willowdragon :)
Patience and perseverance. At least with digital you can see the result fairly quickly and take a number of shots, discarding the unwanted. I think you need to keep your cool and not get excited make sure it is good before you click.

@mastermek There's a lot of bugs here,but some of them are so fast I always get blurry images,and sometimes even with a fast shutter, any suggestions?
@paulavdmerwe Thanks :D
