Great closeup here...the markings can be seen well and I like how you also managed to capture its' shadow as well...rather amusing...almost seems as if it has stopped to admire itself or wonder who 'that other guy' is...good job.:Pat.

Too cute! Playing shadow puppets, LOL.

I LOVE the shadow!! that is just fantastic to catch....NICE NICE picture!!!!

my oh my, how did you manage to catch this tiny fellow in act? :) tremendous details on this one, i think that he should have a bath soon... :)))

this is a magnificent macro shot, i think i could never spot this little fellow, today, all the people are rushing around and have no time to stop...smell the roses or watch a whole new world on the ground :) and his pose looks fantastic, i love the title as well! :)

fabulous lightning on this one, that shadow looks amazing.. i love this image, it goes into my favourites! :) of course, highest marks!

thank you for sharing this little olympics long jump candidate with us! :D have a great day :o)

You have wonderful close ups full of details and I can't imagine why you got such low scores on this and your marvelous lady duck...keep up the great work...

Very cool picture, perfectly timed. The shadow is very cool too, makes it look kind of like a mini monster.

Wow, this is neat because of the shadow of the bug. Great job dear.
