Eeeeeeew, so that's what the wasp nest forming in the corner of my front porch looks like up close and personal. Maybe I'll be more inclined to get it down now :)

But the detail in this is mind blowing, how you can see every little antennae and leg, and changes in coloring on the wings. Wow! I continue to be in awe of your macros.

Wow!!! This is beautiful! It has a turbulent kind of energy, and that golden color with the blue tones: FANTASTIC! Jeeeeez, I'm sorry you didn't enter this one.

Maybe shot to death, but this is a totally different take on the norm, and I like the bold, in-your-face presentation. The wispy little feathers look magical like soft lights on the scene.

Happy to see me? No, guess not.

:) My guess is there has never been such a beautiful photo in 2nd to last place. And so cute to make me giggle out loud at my computer.

I would say that ya gotta love those non-imaginative voters. . .but. . .ummm. . .you don't gotta love 'em, do you!

Well, this certainly has gotten praise and accolades (not to mention faves) from people who count, so who cares about the ridiculous, undeserved score!

Oh yes! Very beautiful! The sharp crisp head of that cone pokes its face out of the blur. Excellent! Autumn has never looked more beautiful than through your pictorial!

I love this photo, Roz! I actually think you made the right choice, and the voters just missed the boat on this one. It is amazing. A flawlessly beautiful macro. It should have scored like your commenters rated this!

Wow, Greg! This is amazing. It looks like a stunning painting. I wish it would have scored higher -- like I think your commenters got it right. The rest of the voters . . .bleh!
