Holy cow, that's a perfect 5.0000! Kind of a miniaccomplishment on it's own. I thought this a nice, well composed shot when I viewed it in the challenge. I love the light, and wished the bug had crawled just a wee bit more into it - maybe half in and half out. Composition is very nice and I like the muted colors, especially in the background.

Julianne,
You must have had a private chuckle when the 'dirt' challenge came up after submitting this for free study! What I like in this photo: the mottled green background that matches the beetle well, the interplay of textures and the composition. I think it would be more captivating if the beetle's head was more in evidence and a bit sharper. Also, a fill flash on the beetle might be an interesting touch. Overall, this image grows on me as I look at it.

Not very appealing an image,though it would work great for dirt.

I like it a lot - Just lacks contrast.
