Congrats Rudy. Tell me you didn't poke an eye doing this and that this one represents your second attempt. :P

Isn't this great? What I see here is a man(kind) walking away, oblivious to the beauty that surrounds him. His wondrous machines fill the frame with pride while nature fills the remaining gaps. It's now just a reflection, an echo of it's former self yet it surrounds man, protecting him with unconditional love, a mother's love, a gaia's love to be sure.

Had I voted this would have received my highest vote. Congrats on a wonderful image and a fine score to boot!

I like the choice in subject and the detail you were able to capture.

But to be honest, I think you missed the mark. The problem is the white/featureless background which is doing you no favors, IMO. Using it is like putting your subject under a microscope. It makes your subject look too clinical/analytical in appearance. Not only that but it robs the viewer of seeing this subject in it's proper context.

This is not to dismiss your opinion since as the author you can more easily connect with it but for the rest of us we need to see more, more context in which to identify and understand your vision.

Actually, I believe it's a hollowed out millipede. The size of it is quite small. I found this under a window and just shot it as is.

You don't have much luck do you? Two mantis shots should have ribboned. Oh well. Congrats on 6th place.

I like the background blur. Very painterly. Oh and great focus and colors.
