I like the simplicity (and originality) of this photo and the cropping. The depth of field works well with the image,especially the way it highlights one of the eyes, as if he's watching us... Very well done

I like the 'posture' of the insect and the focus is very sharp throughout. The contrast with the white background works well with the set up. I like how the flower is all in focus although the water or reflection at the bottom of the flower is distracting to me. Gret composition, pose, and focus! Patience pays off...
Very well done!

I really like the soft feel of this photo. It nicely contrasts all the sharp images in this contest. The colors are also well blended and I like the composition and the 'cut off' crop! Well done!!!

I love how the entire bug and the finger are in focus! The fragility of the insect really comes through and it even seems to be looking at the 'viewer'! The light spot in the background does seem a bit distracting to me though...
Great composition. Very well done!

WOW! What a close up! It almost seems hard to believe that you can get that close! Nice sharpness and details on the legs and body. Great 'soft' background although there is a tiny tiny amount of glare near the leaves(?) that distracts just a tad...But truly amazing macro! very well done

I love the offbeat photo and the fact that the insect is barely hanging on. I really like the all white background. It seems so 'milky' somehow and perfectly harmonizes with the 'soft' white flower! Nice composition!!!

It almost seems like it should be pulsating with life!

Wow! Is that a roach? I love the composition and the details on its 'hairy legs'! The depth of field is great and I like the neutral background! I don't know if I like the frame though? It almost seems like you would want the bug to hide behind the 'page'...and the frame reminds me that its a photo...

Very well done!

I really like this one! Very original.
The composition of the drops is also visually arresting. I especially like how some of the drops distort the image of the background flower! well done!
