Flee cirkus parade through town.

Colors are pretty drab due to lighting. Also I think you should have narrowed your road a bit. If you think about the scale, that's a really wide road, heh. Narrowing it would also give you less empty white space. You could get closer and not even have the empty white spaces to the sides. I think that would help pull the viewer down the street with the "fleas."

This isn't a great shot, but I did give you a boost for creativity.

It took me a few extra seconds to actually see the little guy... even though it's in perfect focus and there almost seems to be a beam of light shining right on him.

To me this looks like what I would call a proof shot. By that I mean it's a quick shot of something cool that you took as proof that you saw it, and then you snuck up closer only to have it fly away before you could get your real shot.

It's a decent shot. You just needed to be closer for the great shot.

Focus is nice and the subject is interesting. There's actually so much dead space to the right of the subject that I think it's actually competing for attention. Overall the photo is a bit dark too. This could use a little bit greater DOF and a few steps slower on shutter speed.

I think your aperture is a little too shallow, but I can't honestly say I'd want to see more of that green plastic thing he's standing on.

When I first got my macro I went outside and found a dead one of these bugs. I took a bunch of shots of him on a leaf. My DOF was too shallow too. I needed to lower the shutter speed, and I had no excuse not to. Not like he was going anywhere... he was dead! They're in my profile if you'd like to see.

Something about the diaginal presentation of this doesn't work for me. I think horizontal might have more punch. The colors are great, as is the focus. Your sensor is a bit filthy though, heh.

This is one of those classic photos that you see floating around in spam emails for years. Such a hysterical expression!

I think this would work better flipped 180 degrees (which is legal in minimal editing). I really like the colors.

I have to agree that without the title this wouldn't represent still, but with the title I think it nails it. Unforunately it looks like not so many people agreed. Definately has that old Hitchcock feel.

You were my #10. Sorry my vote didn't weigh more, heh.

What went wrong?! You were in my top 5!

I can only imagine that people needed to see this photo bigger. If this were to be put in a gallery at full size there would constantly be someone standing infront of it losing themselves in thought.

You're my winner.

Love the reflection, the colors, and the stillness. I can feel the crisp cool breeze coming in through the open window as I take an afternoon nap in one of the upstairs bedrooms.
