thanks for your research mcmurma, I found out it will become a moth of the Sphynx family, heavy bodied dull colored butterflies...

Congrats on the win JJ! I looked for some info on that critter, but couldn't find anything specific. I'm sure he is some kind of hornworm, but I don't know if we have any that look like that around here. So I have no idea what kind of moth or butterfly he is in training for!

Funny! Nice B&W pic, only the shadow at the base of the statue is a little distracting - 8.

Great pic, I really like the way it is lit. With the relaxed edting rules I might have burned in the arm and the front of the shirt and neck a little though. 9. Good luck, Todd.

Great concept for a portrait ! It's certainly a different angle and one that I like very much. The background equally contributes, along with this viewpoint, and your appearance to the impression I get of you as being unique, intelligent, artistic, creative, a man with vision, connected with nature, wild and a very "colorful" person, indeed. Exposure and focus are very sharp. Contrast is excellent and really helps to make you stand out. Colors are rich and vibrant. Outstanding work!

Toutes mes félicitations de la part d'un habitant du bord du même lac qui débute dans la photographie digitale et qui souhaite parvenir...(un jour peut-être) au même niveau que vos magnifiques photos... Bravo ! P.S. : Je n'ai de cesse d'admirer le portrait du vigneron dénommée "A critical eye on his liquids" qui est vraiment magnifique et qui aurait mérité une meilleure place dans son concours respectif.

Congratulations from an inhabitant from the same lake coast in Switzerland who's beginning in digital photography and hopes to be able (...one day)to take such great pictures as you do... P.S. : I can't stop admirating the picture "A critical eye on his liquids" which is absolutely stunning for me. It deserved a better place
