		hello from CC world Karma
 
 Well, I guess this got pretty thoroughly talked about in the forums, so i don't know that I have much to add to my thoughts as expressed then.
 
 Two things I will put here though, more relative to the reason it scored as it did rather than your photography - I'm sure you got the shot you wanted, and technically there's nothing to criticise.
 
 Firstly i think it was unclear what the hell this was: some of the comments show that, and I had the same reaction - is this some kind off cuddly toy? So i think you perhaps needed to crop it less closely, or show more of it.
 
 Secondly, location: it could really be anywhere, couldn't it? I'd have tried to include something that clearly placed it in a garden, as i think that is required by the challenge.
 
 If you could have achieved both those things and still kept the detail of the furriness of it I think you'd have had a winner.
 
 Good luck

		I like the amount of zoom you chose here. You captured alot of detail and I believe has more appeal than just a picture of a moth. What might of helped is just a slight different vantage point to show more of the face. 
 
 If I could have voted I probably would have given it a 7 or 8. |

		| It fills the frame, but...what is it? I feel like I'm missing too many pieces of this subject to figure it out.... |

		| Is it a moth? Very hard to tell. Technically an excellent shot, I like the colours and you've got a nice combination with the DOF and the shard detail on the left side. Good job, look forward to finding out what it is. |

		| i dunno what this is, but i think it could either be a very good macro of a hairy spider... or else its a soft toy or something. the dof is nice, but i dont really see any real focal point of the photo |

		| I can't tell what this is, but the detail/focus is great.  The colors are a bit drab. |

		| Can't quite work this out - could be a moth, cuddly toy? Good shot and keeps me guessing. |
