excellent detail and color. nice bokeh. white border gives extra contrast. too bad her tail is cropped. still tempted to give a 10, will come back later

She is much loved and it shows in her sweet face and in the photos of her besotted owner ;)

This is a phenominal macro - I'm with Scalvert on this one - you should have entered it! Though how you got one of these guys to stay still long enough to take this good of a shot, I'll never know. Awesome.

That's in your face, alright! I'm enjoying it though, cause I'm way over here on the other side of the world. You're fast becoming the macro maven, Roz!

Would you look at the face on this guy!!! He actually looks like he might be really soft though, if you could manage to avoid all of those prickly looking parts sticking up. Ewww...what am I talking about??? I wouldn't get anywhere near close enough to pet this mini monster. You are a brave soul, Roz, and thanks so much for the comfortable, safe-from-our-home computer monitor viewing.

Dang, Roz! I'm sure glad I didn't try to enter any of my feeble attempts at macro -- these make me glad I decided to sit out this challenge. I don't have a macro lens, so getting shots like this is impossible!

You are GOOD!
