1 more day of voting: This is unreal. I didn't enter anything in over a year and then this happens. I could see the addiction starting all over again.

2.5 hours left for voting and I am at a 7.7. Gunna watch a movie to pass the time. I already sent my original RAW file in.
Ok. I can cross the blue ribbon off my list. Thank you.

Well done Tony. Great shot and a wonderful end to a suspenseful week. Your first Blue ribbon and a new PB by quite a bit. And look at the ave. by commenters! Congrats!
Congrats on the Bluey.
Just wondering, I have just brought into the world of macro with the Nikon 60mm 2.8D, was this shot taken with just that or extensions too?
Just want to know as I am new to macro and am fascinated by the whole thing.
This is an awesome image, Well done!
Great colors! The focus is spot on and the overall effect is just excellent, I suspect the border may have helped too! Well done and congrats on the placement!
A lot of good photos in this challenge and then I get to this one and I see the blue ribbon winner. Sets the bar higher and gives us all something to work towards! Love the solid yellow background - do you hold a card behind the bug?
