This has been in my favourites for ages and I keep coming back to it. It's quite an incredible snapshot of a moment in insect life, beautifully focused and so crisp. Their bodies look so tangible - I can almost feel their texture. Brilliant.
I can't see why this woul dhave gotten anything below a 5. Thought he "subject" may not be perfect for some people, it is quite obvious that some forget all aspects of photograpy, not just the subject but the technical aspects. I think that you did an awesome job on this photo. Shelia
WOW; what a lucky shot! Or is it a planned setup? I'm highly interested in the story behind this shot and I'm waiting for your photo details... Good luck, nds
all in all this is probably my favorite photo this week. i felt pretty sure a good insect macro would work well, I just couldn't get one... yours, though, is excellent-- (10) ~mcmurma
Tell me honestly these are real and you didn't set this up and I'll give you a sure 10. Right now it is a 6 . The one by itself is a lot out of focus. PTL
Excellent shot. I love the color and composition. I wish the fellow on the left had just a wee bit more focus though. Really good idea, one of my favs this week. DPz
Cool photo! Too bad the little guy to the left wasn't a bit further away so he would be more in focus. (Then again, I wouldn't be the one volunteering to herd these fellas around!)
Great capture. For some reason it reminds me of Gladiators. I like the foreground being out of focus, it really forces the eyes to the subject. If I had any "complaints" it might be that it was cropped too closely at the top (for me anyway). Otherwise, awesome. karmat
Incredible capture!! I don't know how much res. you had to work with to crop this just so the two opponents were shown. The foreground is pretty out of focus, which is a major bummer but the bugs are great. If a few minor details could've been worked out, this would be a sure 10. Nice job anyway - Inspzil
