 A Leaf bug I found at my office, I liked it more with the wings spread, and decided to go for the "autumn" look instead of a rich green look that the original photo had.

This is my second submission in a long time, I have been playing with lighting lately, this photo uses 2 flashes, one for a big backlit leaf (background) and the other to side lit from the left the bug.

Good presentation of the camouflage effect; lighting and DOF used effectively to make a somewhat subtle and interesting photo.

nice macro. like the background texture the leaf(?) gives. some of the details of the bug appear to get lost in the upper portion. - 7

Interesting shot. Good colors and lighting. Maybe a little soft on the focus but a nice image overall.
