Although the bug isn't entirely sharp, I still liked this shot because of the blurred foliage especially at the bottom.

Very little PP on this one. Slight sharpening to get the bug's spots better defined, and cloned out a bright yellow speck of pollen clinging to one of the black spots. Cropped.

More a bug shot, isn't it :)) But never mind - we are not strict here! Actually that is an interesting bug, looks like the mother was a bee and the father a mouse ... I like the background blur, the cool colors - yes, and the furry texture of the bug!

Actually. . . find him kinda dapper. Wish the flower was a touch more in focus to show him off.

An interesting shot, would have been even better with the flower in focus too.

Yes..an ugly beastie it is! Nice shot. I like the softness of the flowers surrounding the beast.

DNMC - That bug is overwhelming those pretty little flowers - gotta love it!

The grain, the blur, the shallow DOF - it all works nicely here

By the way...it's a joke....
