This is a real knock out shot. I love the light and the dark background. The bug seems to almost be glowing. I appreciate that the whole bug is in focus too. Very good work!

This is one of the best macro bug shots I've seen. The focussed region is excellent, drawing your eye to the legs and head. The slight hot spot on the head makes it the center point, and the center point is not in the center (a good thing). The antennas lead you off the photo adding to the space. The match of the green leaf and the bug is pleasing, making the photo uncomplicated. The cripsness of the spots keep the subject from becoming monochrome. The dark background excentuates the outline of the subject so the form is completely defined.

Overall excellent!
