Personally, I'd say not. I know the bug isn't so large, but the riot of colour is lovely.

No crop for me either, the fly is in a focus point and I saw it in a second when looking at your photo so no worries that nobody sees it and like Kirs says it's lovely with all the colours.

I'd crop it a bit, but not as much as shown. Maybe if you just cropped out a few cm's from the left hand side to cancel out that odd blur that almost look like someones finger, it would be perfect. well done

Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment. The odd blur on the left (which is a shiny leaf not my finger, honest!) will be cropped out but I will retain the rest of the background.
Much happier now.

If you're interested this was taken on a K10D with a smc-A 50mm f/1.7. It was taken wide open and the hoverfly is pin sharp and the colours have not been boosted. What a fantastic lens!
