Lovely. Pity about the reflection at the jaguar's head.

I don't know what I can say about this shot that the score and placing don't already say!

The colors here are nice and vivid. Lovely yellows and complimentary greens! A nice amount of negative space in the upper right corner.

At first I didn't like the crop. I thought at first that the insect (the real subject of the shot) should be more prominent, but the more I look at it the more I wouldn't want it changed even the slightest. I would even go as far as to say that the cropping is brilliant!

Now that challenge is over the only things that I would change is to get rid of the dull green behind the mantis and the dull grey in the bottom right corner. Both are slightly distracting, but looking at your score I would have to say that neither are too distracting...

This shot does prove my point that there is at least a small element of chance in great photography. One awesome shot!!!

Yours
TC

Mmmmmm.... Now... this smell can drive someone crazy in the morning. I wish I didn't see the green weeds in the background. It is distracting from the beauty of the arangement. Maybe you should have tried another angle. 8

Fantastic detail, and a well chosen crop.

The food in front is a little underexposed. It would have looked much better if you had added some (yellow?) light to it.

Nice colors, very pastel! Good composition.
Sorry, I don't see soft focus.

The subject is soft, but the focus is nice and sharp - as it should be for this type of photo.
