Oh my goodness. I'm going to say this before someone else does. I'm the 1. It was a mistake, a terrible mistake. Was supposed to be a 10. Was using the numbers pad on the keyboard and even when I went back to check for bumps, I didn't see it because it displayed below all my other votes. So very sorry.
Thank you for coming forward and explaining the circumstances. I believe this was my first one score ever and I wondered why. Now I know. I didn't
even realize you could hand punch in numbers. Thanks again solving the mystery. Mistakes happen, so no worries.
Congratulations on placing 4th. The vibrant yellow of the grasshopper against the deep green of the stem creates a captivating visual tension, enhanced by the artistic blur of the background. The details are impressive.

Outstanding, tack-sharp detail. Looks like something from a biology textbook!
Personally, I would prefer a slightly more generous crop to allow additional plant context and give the subject just a bit more breathing room and create a little more visual depth and contrast for the subject to "pop" against.
