Well apparently this was my 4th best shot of 2007. Thanks for all the great comments. Just to clear up one thing, the bug was real and it had not been posed, I just saw it on a rock and snapped away

Wow Jon, almost a 6 in the BEST OF challenge - that is excellent!

That is one freaky looking bug. You did a great job with the focus on it and then using the border to tie it all together. Look forward to seeing what you will be doing with photos this year!

SWEEEEET is that a stink bug??!

Wow. That is one nasty looking bug.

Nonetheless, you've captured it perfectly. You've framed it in a way that makes me believe the bug is actually checking out the view (great title, by the way) and enjoying it!

Colours are great, contrast is excellent, and the sharpness is bang-on. Very well done.
