An extraordinary edit, one of the best water and oil images I've seen on here. The colours just popped. Didn't get around to voting on this challenge.

Wow, kinda scary looking but that is because of the perfection in your image. Great image in all the scary details. Congrats TT

WOWSERS LARRY .. !! ..
you have definitely shown this bug in all its glory .. and the details are fascinating ..
i've had a 'problem' with stink bugs on my mandarin tree during summer .. they are literally the only insect i kill .. i spray them with a mixture of detergent and water .. i keep telling them not to come back but they ignore me to their detriment .. ;)

Ugly little dude posing for a great photo. You have kept the sharpness on the subject which really makes him pop against the diffused background. Really good stuff here.
If you are "extended" photoshop savvy, a solid diffused green background would have made it pop even more (9 --> 10)

Bonus points for a cute cat! Royalty no less. Great idea for the composition as she addresses her subjects. The lighting or something kind of makes the cat look more pasted onto the image rather than part of the scene.
