GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB
Oh, what a great find you have here, and look at the number of people who guessed it was YOU! Congratulations on being so well known, and with such a good entry!

Okay, to the business at hand. First, there were some tremendous insect pictures in this Challenge; yours was one of many good ones.

Second, it would be great to see the colors in the critter intensified a bit. There's still a lot of red in that guy to pull out and some yellow, and yes some green to intensify that background. If it was mine, I'd probably also crop down a bunch. Say start just to the rear of that bud on the branch. Measure about as much room to the front of the legs as between them. (On my screen, that's about an inch and a little). In other words, give him just enough room to move forward a little. I think the top is good the way it is.

All this fine-tuning might just give your very fine insect a little more 'pop.'

Keep up the good work. You're doing just fine.
