Met the challenge perfectly and rare. Should scored higher.

Cool lighting, and wicked DoF on such a macro-ish composition.

Comment by SaraR:
The muted soft background greens are lovely, and a good foil for your subject. This is a good macro, and one that i would have been delighted to have taken, but in terms of DPC it perhaps lacks the sharpness and level of detail that the very best of the insect macros display. A very good base from which to move forward though.

Good close up. Maybe a little too much space on the right.

Really cool shot! Great use of the frame. And it wouldn't be the same without that sharp focus on the keys. Good job!

With just a little more DOF this would be stunning. Unfortunately, the OOF petals on top are a distraction.

Perfect DOF in my opinion. 8
