Great use of muted color on this. I also love the tiny light green leaves of spring. The bug really adds interest too and it's great that his color blends right in. I'd have cropped just a bit more off the left or cloned out that one tiny piece of leaf in the upper left corner. But that's just a tiny nit. The picture is really lovely. An 8.
ah, yes, time for our little friends to come out and be seen! nice capture. the bug could stand to be a bit sharper, but you can only do so much at 640 pixels. lovely colors--they really do capture the essence of the changing of the season. well done! good luck!
