Cicada shell taken with flash directly behind it. Would have liked not to have the darker edge on the left side but when I went to rearrange the flash I hit the shell and it fell and broke. I might get beat up on this since some might say it's not actually an insect anymore but a shell of an insect. I guess we will see.

Oh, I just noticed this. I love empty cicada shells and am always trying to think of unique ways to photograph them. You have done a fantastic job here and I would have given this an 8 or 9.
This one was hard for me to vote on, awesome picture!! Great compostion, clarity, and detail. But there is no insect in the piture. 7 anyway, great work.
I love this one! Kinda grewsome (sp?) looking but very nice with the backlight and the transparancy of the shell. I do kinda get a sense of it not being in focus as much as it could....but that may just be me.
