Number 4 but with a closer crop round the leaf it's standing on. Once again it's personal taste, I like, occasionally, to make the insect just a part of the photo but that depends on the leaf shapes and lighting. Keep on experimenting it's the best way to find your own style

#4 with a really tight crop. In my mind, the subject is a small fly. Make him large (to the point where detail doesn't get fuzzy) and the environment around him becomes secondary. I'm on a phone right now, and just enlarging the image to its max with my fingertips (creating a taller vertical crop) looks pretty cool. You see him, and then the curves of the leaf edge. That's how I would do it.

First one - leaves space for the fly to fly eventually.
