[On my screen] the photo seems underexposed. You might want to bump that up a tad; also it could also do with some sharpening.

yah you are right, i find it difficult to focus with unlevel surface of the image. The DOF is uneven especially macro shot. I already bumped by sharpening, i dont want to increase the noise with too much sharpening. Thanks for the advice of increasing the exposure. I will do that.

I like the exposure. It doesn't feel too dark and I like the composition.
I especially like the boken.
