A little more dof would have been better. Only one leg of the bug is in nice sharp focus and maybe a touch of its head. It looks better when I squint. I don't know, maybe I need glasses. Good job.

nice effort. this is a tough shot, especially when working with live models...my best advice: take lots and lots and lots of shots, ever so slighting adjusting the focus. this would be killer if the focus wasn't so soft. (also, i can't tell for sure, but you might need to clean your sensor; i think i'm seeing a couple of spots that usually only show up when there's dust on the sensor.)

Green seems a bit overdone, leg looks oversharpened, good DOF though, and sharp. Looks like the sames exact typ of bug that I have in this challenge.

Not enough DOF to get this picture interesting.
