This is a great idea, as the bug is not actually rusty, but he looks as if he is rusty. I love how people interpret the challenges in different ways. I really got tired of seeing the literal interpretations, and this freshened me up.

Interesting take, perhaps the picture relies too much on the title though. Think it might be a little too sharp on the bug's head, but that might be the light.
An original concept on "rusted" - glad it's not another chain link or lock. You need more depth of field if possible. The white in the background and the frame are both detractors.
I don't mind you extending rust to mean other things besides oxidation processes, in fact--points for creativity! However, there may be ways to better communicate the inadequecies of this bug? He looks pretty spry to me. Lovely macro, though, and wonderful point of view.
