Another one that was robbed! This little critter has so much character... you should have been in the top 10. No doubt in my mind!!!

I think its cool that you went with a sepia or of color filter, it sets this image aside from everday macro shots. 9 Kevin

Cute title! I like the sepia/pink tone. Excellent focus which is hard to do with these critters. I like the crop and comp. a lot. His stance is humorous. Well shot.

Nice focus, head tilt, and capture. But, not enough color for me.

I'm not sure what it is about this photo that makes me laugh, but every time I look at it, I do. The dof works well here to really give the head and front legs the impact to carry the shot. I really like the very faint lines in the background as well - I think they may have been unintentional, but they lend added interest to the composition. Great shot.

Nice choices in DOF and composition. Nice muted colours too. More dynamic than most insect pictures.
