Beautiful photo, Roz, and a perfect challenge entry. No reason this shouldn't have been top ten, but #22 is good, too.

Coooooooool macro Roz and the electric blue of the insects head (are they naturally that colour in Oz or did you spray paint it? ;-) ) goes brilliantly with the gentler pastels of the flowers

As ever the dof and sharpness are just bang on.

Another great shot from a great photographer

My favorite image in the challenge, and generally I do not like macros so much. So congrats on a lovely image.

Nice macro. Focus on the closer eye may be a little off. Still a strong shot!
