A better title would be: "Gootchy gootchy goo!" ;-) This is very Roz-esque. ...yet it tastes a bit like shoehorn. :)

Amusing and clever. Love the detail (even if it is a bug or two!) and colors.

Could be maybe.
Good try and good shot, nice bokeh, good detail, interesting capture...worth a ribbon for sure. You should have specified your favorite color. Since it's Christmas maybe Red will be appropriate. Now how much score is needed for a Red? Let me see what Santa has in the bag for you...aha yoho ho..ho...an 8

This is a superb shot! Great exposure, focus, etc., etc. But I don't think the connection between the shot and the challenge is there. Just MHO but very very impressed with the shot.

Tack sharp! Nice composition & nothing I could suggest to improve it!

great macro, a bit too much negative space on the bottom for me, this could have benifited from a tighter crop or maybe a border

Wow!! Great shot, but really? You want a bug eating (?) another bug? 8 for exquisite detail, focus, and bokeh. The body of the big bug is a tad flat. But a 3 for title shoehorn.

LOL! I hope it happens for you. :) It's certainly a good enough image. I'd have cloned out that spider web since it's Advanced Editing.

Lovely bokeh and sharpness combo.

I don't know if this will be a ribbon for you but securely this image will go very near to the ribbons. great scene, great sharpness, great bokeh on the background that exalt the subjects. the only thing that play against this photo could be that someone could consider it an outtake of the bokeh challenge. now I begin voting but seeing the thubnail this image outstanding from the others, this is a good thing for you. good luck in the challenge.

Wow! Fantastic detail. I love the negative space in the lower half. Strong entry for BokehV as well. This has the flavor of Roz, no pun intended, although I suspect that this is not her shot given the crop/magnification. Excellent.
