Comment by inspzil:
The first impression I get from this pic is that it is very unnatural looking. Desat of all the colors but blue was probably not the best idea. The blue is way too bright. It looks like the subject was taken from something else and put here with PS. Oversaturation of blue makes the DOF look bad. The shot is pretty blurry for a macro or overprocessed. This is an excellent subject and I think there is a lot of room for improvement on this shot, but the potential is definitely there. - Inspzil

Yikes! It looks slightly grainy, but I'm guessing you had to crop quite a bit. What an amazing bug! I'm giving you a higher grade because it took guts to get this picture... good luck.

Reminds me of the "Invisible Japanese Medaka" fish my high school biology teacher allegedly had in an aquarium in class. Many of our classmates swore they were real!
