I am a lover and shooter of macro myself, so I am critiquing as a fellow photographer with the intent to give constructive criticism not to "bash" the photo.

In some aspects of photography, having items in your foreground can add dimension to the photo, but when shooting macro with a smaller DOF, it can be distracting and make for a cluttered looking frame. In this photo the first thing I notice it the out of focus leaf on the right of the frame.

The focus seems to be on the bulb in front of your bug (which I'm not quite sure is a bee) I'm not sure what other people's methods are, but I shoot my macro like I shoot my portraits (when applicable) and The eye is my main focus point which really gives life to your subject.

Another distracting element and the one that is (to me) worse than the leaf frame left is the blown out sunspots on your subject's back then opposite of that is the darker side which is facing the camera

I know you aren't using a DSLR but I am hoping you can use some of this information in the future if you decide to upgrade and shoot more macro. I also help some of these things can be useful to other readers, we all learn from each other even if we aren't the ones that ask the question.

Good luck to you!

Thanks a lot for your valuable advice.. Could please more explain how to adjust the object in frame? How i can produce much better images with camera? Could you more explain about composition ? Thanks.. Pushkar M

All of those things come with practice really. Composition is about knowing what you want in frame and getting a unique angle on things. When taking any photo you have to make sure certain things are taken care of before leaving. Things like that out of focus leaf and sunspot are things that can be very difficult to fix in post and almost not worth it. Not sure what I can tell you since you aren't using a Dslr but there are forums online with Point N Shoot tips you could google.
