I was having problems coming up with a good one for 'Round', so was going to enter this one below.
I have a much better one now (phew!) which is very different, but am interested to see what people think of this:

thats great! (even though I hate flies). You know, each section that makes up their eye is round-- well, maybe some sort of polygon-- but anyway, its a great macro, especially because of his alignment with the camera

Nice macro, and I see round in it. Got a better one huh! I guess I better go do some more shooting.

I was thinking about the thousands of little round eyes when I took it... (and the rounded body), but I do hate flies and thought this would reflect on my scoring. But I did get to like this little fella after 10 minutes of shooting him. He was a very patient model.
And I've seen SO many excellent bug macros in the forums in the last week that I didn't want to compete with another one!

I like the rounded curves of the leaf beneath, too (much better than if the fly were sitting on a corner or something).

I believe that flies' "eyes" are hexagonal, not round.
The marks they leave are round. :) (until you scratch too much)

Nice job. Would rate it a 6 to 8.

amazing shot (and you say you have a better one??!!), but I don't see it as being round either. :o)

Well, I did feel I was stretching the challenge a little... I mean there are things that exhibit 'roundness' in there like eyes and the body, but I didn't fully convince myself.
But I'll kill anybody who says my new one doesn't have 'roundness'.
I wonder how many people are going to knock off points for anything that isn't a complete sphere by not reading the fine print of the challenge which says 'Show us roundness, however you want to express it'.
