Not much I can offere here in the way of suggestions. I really like this shot. If I HAD to pick something to pick on, I would mention that the blue spot on his front leg looks like an error and is a bit distracting.
However, It really only shows up when I increase the brightness on my moniter, so it's not a big deal at all.
Great DOF. I am one of those that really likes it. I think that what is important, is in focus, and the rest is just background. Speaking of background, the plain white works well. no distracting elements there.
Great colors. I think that if there were more light, creating more detail in his face, that that might distract from the color itself. Creating too much detail to look at, and we may overlook that which is important for the challenge. So I think that you made a wise decision there. With both the lighting and DOF.
I like the angle and framing/cropping as well. Really 'in your face' kind of shot. Sometimes that doesn't work...here however, it works very well.
Congrats on the 13th. This is excellent.

oh, WOW. Great macro. 9. I freely admit that the only reason it didn't get a 10 from me is my own, personal, idiosyncratic preference for a slightly deeper DOF in this case - the blur sets in so soon that I start thinking I need to adjust my glasses.
Great colours, but tge whole shot is a little dark and really needs a great DOF to work properly. Looks an interesting bug thought and I like the composition.
Everything works in this picture! You can feel the bug coming right at you! those vivid colors, defined edges, all blurring into the distance (not so far!) my hands down favorite! 10
Wow, great image. Great focus on the head of teh critter. Nice job capturing it on a white background, really help to viewer focus on the subject of the photo, which is the bug. Nice colors on his shell, and he even managed a very nice smile for the camera. Good Job! 9 md
Wow what a wonderful shot. I love bugs + you incorporated all three secondary colors very well. A very well deserved 10. My favorite so far. I can't wait to hear about your set up and the size of the bug. Good luck. Jacko. 10
