I don't want to say that it's an attractive photo to me, but it is certainly very well done. Definitely deserving of a blue ribbon.

A huge congrats Elsapo. Fantastic image.

Nice work. Glad to see it was appreciated by everyone. Your humble approach to that 2-second argument has worked well for you, BTW. I thought I was going to hold it against you for a year or two - but this image at least, for me, cleans up the past mess...

It's excellent to see you back on the front page Justin with a perfect shot...I gave this a 10 but it deserved higher ;-)
Post actions
Fantastic work! I’m pleased to see you get the Blue. The tones, the detail and the composition could not be better. The more I look the more beautiful it becomes and I only gave you a nine – I robbed you.

Super coloration with outstanding tonal values. Congratulations on your BLUE.

Gorgeous! Love the warm brown tones of this. 9

I think of all the bug shots I like this one the best. I love that it is not green. Fantastic detail on the grasshopper and the plant that he is sitting on gives a great contrast of curves against the lines of the bug. Really well done. Bumping up - one of my top picks of this challenge. Back one more time to give you one more bump. Good luck tonight!
Post actions
This is the most amazing bug/plant picture I have seen thus far, and probably ever on this site! Everything about this is perfect! 10!

Excelente photo. One of the best in this challenge. 10

Great coloration and subject matter. 7

WOW!!! Awesome shot!!! My top pick - 10.
Post actions
Wow... Very nice image... The word "rustic" comes to mind for some reason... I like it.
Post actions
excellent match of colors! 10

The filigree nature of the curious plant, the old-fashioned tone, and the natural mechanical form of the grasshopper bring all parts together into a very fine image. 9.
Post actions
Post actions
wow, great picture! 10 for it!!
Post actions
This is very interesting. I think the tones are great and different. Inventive. I'm giving it a 10!
Post actions
This is my favorite macro shot in this challenge (okay, I admit, I didn't look at all of them close-up--there were just too many), and one of my favorites ever. I like the steely look of the exoskeleton and the mirrored sharp, slicing look of the plant. Very intense with a lot of interest for the eye. Beautiful lighting and DOF. Best of luck!
Post actions
Amazing sharpness, detail and contrast!
Post actions
this is a great capture. I liked everything about it, 10.

This is a really cool picture. However, if it was truely adjusted to monochorme I don't think it meets the challenge criteria. All pictures in the challenge could have been adjusted to monochrome. If I misunderstood, your titla and the grasshopper is actually the same color as the background and vegetation, my appologies. I still gave you a 6 because I do like the picture. It's well composed, good lighting, and an interesting subject matter.
Post actions
This is really good. The way you matched the color is amazing.
Post actions
Very nice colors, subject, composition... excellent photo ... 10
Post actions
great use of an unexpected color for this subject.
Post actions
excellent choice of colour!
Post actions
superb macro and very cool image - best of luck, I love this!!!
Post actions
Absolutely excellent. So sick of seeing bug shots and then this one comes along that not only meets the challenge to the letter but has excellent lighting, perfect composition, perfect focus. Damn, the list goes on. This should be THE STANDARD for bug shots.
Post actions

This is a great shot! The composition is enhanced by the twisted sections

Surely one of the most elegant photos of this challenge.
