Great photo! The colors are incredible without being the least overdone and I'm amazed that all the important elements are in such sharp focus.

The detail you've captured in this macro is excellent - but what really helps make this photo stand out, is the way you've captured the bug at such an angle that the yellow stripe down the bugs back really helps lift it out from the background and give it a sense of 3-dimensionality. Great shot - one of my favourites for this challenge

Excellent shot and very finely captured detail. A larger DOF would have got all the bug in focus and would have improved it IMO.

wow, what an ugly guy! great photo and i love the background, the one thing that would've made it even better would've been if there hadn't been the glare off his legs...7

Challenge met. What a wonderful capture of a bug. I'd be proud to have taken this shot. Lovely colors, crystal-clear focus and sharpness, and he almost seems to look at me. The background is nicely green and OOF without any distractions. The lower end of the bug is a tad OOF but really not noticable much since you have focus and attention-grabbing detail where it matters. My top 5 this week :)
