Default Wide Angle Close up

I don't know if this is a Macro Shot, but i thought this was the closest category. I would love critique on this picture, I am relatively new to photography and macro in particular seems very interesting. Composition tips, technical tips, anything helps!

Nikon D40
ISO 200
10mm
f/4.0
1/1000 sec.
Flash: Did Not Fire
No Cropping
Lens: 10-20mm f/4.0-5.6

I really like this, have you thought about straightening it though?

You can straighten in lightroom or photoshop or any basic image editor. Great shot though.

This is an awesome picture, I love it just the way it is. I love the focus, the curve from the wide angle, I love the composition. Don't straighten it, its perfect the way it is!

picassa has a great straighten tool that's really easy. I tend to do most crops and straightening in picassa and then go to PS for more complicated stuff.
