Could be maybe.
Good try and good shot, nice bokeh, good detail, interesting capture...worth a ribbon for sure. You should have specified your favorite color. Since it's Christmas maybe Red will be appropriate. Now how much score is needed for a Red? Let me see what Santa has in the bag for you...aha yoho ho..ho...an 8

Greetings from the Critique Club...

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 6.

My first impression is that this is a very technically sound photograph. I know how difficult it is to get a good insect shot, especially one as sharp as this. There is obviously bokeh in this shot, and it helps the viewer stay focused on the insect, as nearly everything else is soft. I might be tempted to crop out some of the right hand side so that the shape of the image is more vertical. This would flow nicely with the long thing blade of grass. I think it is a nice shot, but it doesn't really speak to me. I am obviously one of the few, however, as you finished with a great score and almost a top 10 finish. Keep up the good work.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

This is a superb shot! Great exposure, focus, etc., etc. But I don't think the connection between the shot and the challenge is there. Just MHO but very very impressed with the shot.
