Well you did fit the challenge alright. :) Close-ups like this are amazing, you must one awsome macro lens. The pic could be a little bigger, but I'm thinking you probably had to crop this a little get this "close".
Beautiful colors. Love the yellows. Interesting way you were able to compose the shot. It seems very much like a comic book shot. The hairs on the insect seem to intersect toward the middle thus making your eyes focus in on the shiny part of the insect. Blurring effect is interesting.
