| Wow - you took this guy inside and he stayed right where he was supposed to? Had I done that, he'd have leapt off and the cats would have had a field day trying to catch him! |

Thank you everone who voted and gave me all the nice comments.
The grasshopper was alive and well during the shoot, I used Shiz's techinique of capturing him and put him in a jar for awhile to calm him down..
That was the first time I had a pic flirting between high 6 and low 7's and it is STRESSFULL-- I don't know how all of you regular ribbon getters handle it--
Thanks again everyone, and congrats to all the other ribbon getters and to all the top 10-- great pics.. |

Dude, way to go!!! I'm sad to say I didn't finish voting, so I wasn't able to contribute to your win, but it's an awesome shot. All your hard work has paid off - you've finally broken into the big time. Congratulations.
Oh, and was this with or without the macro lens??? ;-) |

| This is the best bug shot in this challenge (IMHO). Watch out for blooming around edges (maybe too much of a saturation?). Well done. 10 |

| Good focus & exposure. The flat grey background, while it does not detract, doesn't do much to enhance either. |

| very nice macro. great detail on the grasshopper. the bright background creates some blue halo things around the plant tho, which looks strange. 9 |

What a stunning image. The solid white background is perfect. The red twigs, green leaves are a wonderful photographic setting for the grasshopper. Cropping and composition is just right.
Textbook perfect.
My rating: WOW |

| The best insect macro this challenge. I really wish I hadn't entered one now! What sets this one above the rest is the composition and background. No distracting elements, the simplicity works very well. The dof is spot-on, very nice clarity in your subject. You bring out the character of your grasshopper well. Nice colours. Effective lighting and exposure. 10 |

The colours are a touch bland for my taste. The backing colour could have been more lively. And I find the leaves a bit distracting. Other than that, I love the shot. 7

Although I'm not very partial to macros, I cannot deny beauty.
A tad more light on the (foreground) branch/stem and lower legs, perhaps? But even the frame is well chosen, the title brief and apt... > 7 (second place, IMO) |

| So far, this is my favorite. I love the metalic look of the grasshopper and the complimentary color of the leaves behind him. The white backdrop really makes it all stand out. Good luck. |

Somehow I knew this challenge would bring out a lot of macro bug shots :)
Nice clarity without seeming oversharpened -- exept the end of his (her?) butt is out of focus. |
