This is a picture of empty locust shells taken during the day. I really liked the way the sun made the eyes appear like they are glowing. My father has a tree covered with all these locust shells, and this picture was taken on one of the branches. I did not edit this photo in the least bit as I am still learning photoshop. I knew it had something wrong with it, and it could possibly be the lighting since it was taken during mid day.
I appreciate everyone's comments and advice. I am just beginning, and I realize that the major challenge for me is going to be learning photoshop so I will continue to forge ahead in that area. Thanks again!

Oooh I like this picture; It's so funny and I love the diagonal; I wish the foreground would be brighter and also a little bit more in focus; still - a great pic;
Focus point is a little bit too close. There appears to be a bit of a bright haziness to the tops of the bugs. Direct sunlight? Cool procession though.
It is difficult to make out what, exactly your subject is here. They appear to be interesting bugs, or perhaps crabs of some sort. The backlighting has obviously created problems for this image causing you to lose detail in the critters' sides. Other than that, it doesn't exactly scream "branch"--it could be a tree trunk, or a hill of dirt.
Well spotted! A great shot. What a strong composition and lovely rhythm with the insects. I wondered at first have they stole the show entirely? Has the branch been simply reduced to a stage prop rather than the principal actor?
