Composition on this one is GREAT! I love the way he's looking straight at the camera and the depth of field work really does wonders for this shot. Makes you feel like you're about half his size and he's trying to decide what to do with you. Great lighting and colors on this shot as well...very nicely done!

Nice close shot with lots of detail! Could maybe crop out a little bit of the empty space on the left, but not too much. Love the detail on the wings in particular.

I really dig on this one. It's an unusual insect, which automatically makes the pic more interesting. I like the motion blur on the wings as well. Levels looks pretty good, though you could perhaps adjust it just a little more to bring out some of the darks and lights of this pic. Perhaps a little added saturation on the leaves might give some more contrast as well. Nice clear shot and focus.

Wow, cool body on this one! I think your composition looks good, although with insects the closer you can get, the better. Just try telling that to them though! ;-)

I love the lighting on this shot...very nicely captured. Has a soft almost fairy tale look to it to me. Good composition and clarity.

Super! Nicely composed and I love the way you caught movement of the wings.

Delicate and subtly beautiful. Your focus on the insect is superb!

I find my eye wandering to the competing peachy tones on the other side of the image.....to the leaves. Wonder if that area were more blurred, or a different crop would keep the focus on the bug. Really love this bug!!

Love this shot, dof and the soft colourings on the flower work well. Focus on the moth is excellent and the wing movts make me feel like he's about to take off!

Focus on the dragonfly is great, but to me the lighting looks a little flat.

Makes me almost wish I was still living in NY and not this HOT Texas desert :)
