 thanks for the interesting mix of comments!

this is a baby mantis, about the size of a thumbnail.
the red is a car in the background and the roundish thing is bokeh.
massive crop, even with macro lens.

This is my top pick, but I suspect it'll end up around 10th place. Hoping it ribbons, though - even if the subject is not red. :)

That's a hell of a Mantis photo. It doesn't *really* push my red button, if I'm honest, but still. Eerie, otherworldly, visually articulate, and worth a 7 to me. It might end up bumped to 8 when I am adjusting, even :-)

This looks weird. The pose of the mantis is great, but something doesn't fit here. Maybe the colors or the round thing on top. A 4 from me
