I have no idea what kind of insect this is, but it is very plain and simple in this image.
That's what I like.

Rosl...nicely done...as you say very simple but still compelling. Love the mirror image. I don't have a clue to identitiy either.

It's a water strider. They walk atop the surface tension of water and eat any insect that falls onto the surface. They can neither swim nor breath under water.

Nice image! I love minimalism when its done right. I wonder if he'd be a little more dramatic more towards that bottom left corner? Either way, I like it.

I've got a couple of images of these as well and never knew what they were. Thanks Bob for clueing us all in!

Another vote for placing the subject on the lower left corner. Small subjects look better closer to the corners. Great idea!

Hey Rosi, good details and another vote for cropping into the lower left corner.
