Took me a bit of looking at this to see how much of an impact the negative space really plays in this. Hopefully other voters do the same for you.

Congrats Judi. This little fly has so much character that he looks like he belongs in kids' a book.

It's great that you got the subject frozen so well in the light. Looks like it might be just a bit blown on the highlights. I'd be tempted to crop this shot a bit more.

Great image, good timing and DOF.

It may very well be my monitor, but the image does not seem to be as crisp as it could be. The sun seems at its peak and may have some impact on the image. Have they started the rodeo competitions in Emerald already. I do believe I had the good fortune of visiting that location the last time I was in Australia.

The very best of luck to you in the challenge.
