I wish the background behind the flowers was darker, I think it would have made everything else stand out more.

Nice colors. Good capture and nicely focused. Interesting perspective in a challenge full of simular shots.

There appears to be quite a lot of ugly unsharp mask wierdness going on around the yellow features of the flowers. The Bug is very attractive and nicely framed. And the flowers complement him well.

The images that always suffer from a lack of comments are the ones that are right in the middle ground. Everyone comments on the awesome shots. Some comment on the bad shots. But the middle ones, very few people say anything. So here I am to explain why I voted a 5:

This image has pretty good sharpness and I'm leaning towards a 6. You caught the bug at a good angle and all. I would like to have seen a little more less clutter to the background (perhaps crop out some of the unimportant stuff) and perhaps a little more detail in the bug's head.

Hope the comments help.

Very nice image. Good lookin bug but I might have gone for a slightly different crop myself. The lower left side doesn't do much for the shot.

6 - Nice, but needs focus on the bug. Flowers look good, but the bug is the eye grabber for me.
