I like this shot. Great clarity on the cicada shell and the blurred background is a perfect compliment without being overpowering. It adds great colors and patterns and finishes off the image nicely. Very pleasant shot to what many would consider to be a very ugly creature.

Never thought that a dead bug could look so good in a photo.

Good color and processing, but to my eye, it would be better in landscape format or at least not such a close crop. There's a lot of interesting stuff going on in the background (which I, of course, can't see, so you may have a very good reason for cropping it out. 8)) I'd try and not chop off the car, and including the sign on the building might "loosen" things up a bit.
