Date: Dec 9, 2009

 The Image; A Cicada. It had its front legs missing and so I figured it had been in a fight with a bird. I placed him and took the shot...actually, it could be a she...

The Edit: Levels, USM, Colour Balance, Noise Ninja.

The Prediction: Hope to finish in the top 40 :)

Pretty unbelievable for an image I wasn't going to enter. My wife now wants credit. Hope to reach 7 now...

Post: well, it didnt' quite reach 7, but it did a whole lot better than I thought. Thanks for the votes. HOTPASTA IS GETTING HIS MOJO BACK!
