A big congrats Cheryl. Very cool image. I like the hard lines and angles that are softened by the curved antenna. I love the detail in the antenna. I might dodge the eye a bit to bring it out a bit. Well Done!

Cheryl:
Very cool, congrats on your honor!
If time permitted, I might have tried for a little more DOF, and I like Gail's idea of lightening the eye/face.
Cheers

Hey Cheryl, this one rocks! I'm always one for more DOF but the since you got the head and the entire antenna that's being groomed in sharp focus, shallow works great here! I agree that lightening, sharpening and maybe increasing the contrast of the the eye a small amount would look good. Very well done!

Avery cool image and congratulations on the award! In a perfect world, I'd love to see as much detail in the body as there is in the front legs...but this is very nice as is.

Congratulations on your award and a super image! I agree that lightening up the face would improve it but as is its wonderful. Just goes to show you that you never know when an award winning image will come into focus on that viewfinder. Congrats again!

Thanks everyone. I agree with all of the comments on lightening and i actually did do quite a bit as i mentioned from being backlit and not having time to adjust.The 7d has creates alot of noise at this ISO so I was kinda lucky i got what I did and recovered with NR. I may work on it some more just to see.

Hi Cheryl, sharp where it needs to be and really focuses the viewer's eyes on the behavior of the insect grooming his antennae. Wonderfully done of a tough subject. Congrats on the award!
