This was my pick for top-spot, and while a top 10 is nothing to sniff at, it boggles my mind that some of the things that beat this... well... beat it.

It's not only the technical aspects either, but this mantis exudes a personality that shouldn't be attributable to an insect. The pose, the lighting, the isolation, it all comes together in an amazing, amazing way. Incredibly amazing. Too amazing for these dingbats that vote on such things ;)

Great shot. I have to admit that I wouldn't have linked this back to the Thing, but I still would've thought this was really cool.

Very cool subject, I like what you chose to focus on! Cool square framing, too, I'm a sucker for that.

Really like the colors in this one, I have to agree with ya about the unknown possiblites. Very good use of symbolism. Great Job on this one Jason.

Outstanding macro, love the shallow DOF here. It really helps to give this shot a cool creepy factor.
