Sorry for the comment yesterday, rack it up to a very bad day. This is a very nice image, good macro work. The background could be a little darker, if you hold something above to cast a shadow behind, and that would make it a stronger image. However as nice as a macro shot as it is, I don't feel that it meets the topic for still life. I know this is a controversial subject here right now, but that is my opinion.
Cool image. Very nice macro of wildlife. Not still life though. 5

kinda more of a portrait, but it's impressive, i'd've entered it too 'cause it's pretty and a rare shot, though it kinda stretches the theme of the challenge.
