 My expectations are not high. My other option was a sunflower. Yeah, a flower. I liked it better, but it was a flower.

I found him dead, belly up on the windshield of my car. I brought him in, shoved a toothpick up his ass to hold him up and started shooting. I hope the blue background works. I'm sure I'll get dinged for it.

I liked this shot a lot even though the colours look a little dull but the details are spectacular.

Wow... nice and sharp. Details are excellent as is the colour. Crop might bee a little tight (tehe) :)

The processing is a little rough, but the composition is good. Looks like an alien.

Technically good focus and detail, but it's not appealing to me. Maybe too tightly cropped?

I am not a lover of bugs. This is too much information, despite the brilliance of the macro. Not voting.
