Intriguing, but I'd like to see more detail. I think I see bits and pieces of bug but I'm not sure. And I like bug detail ;-)

Synchronised bowing. Nice touch. Oil spill survivors? Have you been getting a good score? Having shot birds will set you apart from the other images here that were urban, street, and not "wildlife". It might garner you a point or two more than those. I know mines battling to go above 5 (maybe it really sucks, I can live with that). So yes, birds are something NG has been known to publish from time to time :) and it's a safer bet in this challenge.
Does it take my breath away? Is it telling a story without the title. Should it have to? Is the title enough? I'd say yes. It's not your typical crisp focused well framed image but if it were it would not portray the darkness, the pity for the birds that this image has portrayed (to me) and the lessons we should learn from our hunger for oil. I could be totally wrong but it's easier to comment post rollover than now. This is how THIS image spoke to ME. I hope they print it.

Very nice shot, simple and sweet. It looks like it could be a little more high key to me, but still well done. 7

Such an adorable capture. I wish this had just a bit more contrast.

Very cute although composition and exposure could have been better. Shallow DOF is effective. A quiet momemt.
