The neat part of this shot is the wonderfully posture of the bug. It has a very anthropomorphic feel.

Porcini Mushroom with Lichen and Pine Needles
by JuliBoc

Comment:
Very very striking. The two tone colors are terrific. The way the needles match the mushroom in color gives a nice fullness to the shot. The competing textures also give a ton of interest. On the basis of those qualities alone this should have been a six type shot. I am sure the focus mongers out there voted you down a bit which is a shame.

Very original idea. The soft pastel colors work in concert with the round shapes. Terrific placement of items. Congrats on the wonderful score.

Very well composed shot. Terrific focus. Are those water drops in the stamen? Amazing. That is the type of thing that would look wonderful blown up!

Abstract Macro...Best guess?

It does look really cool! That is some very nice detail you have. Feels industrial. I'm guessing the low votes were due to the pano format. I guess. I haven't the foggiest why this would score below a 5.

This is cool. I love macros like this. Nice highlights and wonderful details. I'm a bit surprised it did not score at least a six.

Very cool for a macro shot. I haven't seen a flame capture quite like this one. Love the detail in the metal? Has a nice gritty feel to it.
