I like this photo but it makes me feel very uneasy whenever I look at it. It's rare that photo does that and I keep coming back to it to try to figure out why. It has an insect quality to it (in fact it might even be an insect) and I think it's that alien look at an insect that freaks me out.

A centepede?
A shame the feet are not sharper. The yellow Background is good.

A stumper, so meets the challenge. I love this ... so many possible interpretations. Great color, comp, focus, DOF and border. Possibly best of show.

I am puzzled, but if I had to guess I would say one of those bugs that roll up into a ball.
