My entry, which did so so.

I went for humour in my entry:
Would a more traditional shot have been better:

I had tough choices to make for this one, though the one I went with I felt certainly was the right way to go.

Not complaining about my score but from looking at the 24 images that finished above mine I think I could have chosen better.
Entry:
Outtakes (all minimal editing):
This was the one I probably should have entered, it was a toss-up between this and my entry.

Think I was right not to enter this one seeing as my entry did manage over 5. Grossed a LOT of people out though. |

here is one of my outtakes,
Tarantulas only eat 1-2 times per every two weeks, I was very lucky to get this, because he hasn't eaten since. Shot through the aquarium, I'm not too comfotable with holding him, quite yet. I am working on that though. I chose b&w because that gave better quality through the glass, and being minimal editing. I will be posting more of this guy in color. |

| I have no outtakes, my dog ate my bug after my first shot (and it took me all week to find that one!). |

I agree - this one has really nice color and composition - would have given this at least an 9

The traditional shot would have scored better, but when I was voting, I really enjoyed looking at something different. |

My Entry
Since a few commenters mentioned that they would like to see my entry in color here it is:
This is the only color picture I took with THIS particular pose and position. The other shots were taken B&W.
I went back and counted how many shots I took in the two hour span that it took me to get the best results:
130 photos and only two are the best of the bunch.
Other outtakes
And I had two other really creative conceptual shots that I am putting on the backburner until I can really get them to shine and do them justice. |

I think this one is the best
The reasons are because it shows some stunningly wonderful details on the insect and it's environment. |

Seconded. This close-up shot has beautiful colors and wonderful details. |

Thanks for the input... I need to make these decisions before entering the challenge.

This is the one I really hoped I could use when I shot it, but it needed lots of editing... and still needs lots more editing, but I dunno how!

Here's a photo I took around a year ago which I'd have entered if I could..
It's not bad for a cameraphone pic I think. Interested to hear what you all think though. |

I had soo many choices. The colours on these will look different because they are a Lightroom export from the raw files rather than based on the JPEG original like my entry was.
This one was possibly my favourite but it needed cropping sooooo badly:

I'm not sure if my outtake would have done better but figured I would error on the side of caution for fear of the DNMC police and go with the adult :P
