This was supposed to be a BW image, but the color turned out MUCH better. This bug was on my friend's car after taking a run in the metroparks. We were taking pictures and someone put the leaf near the bug, which really made this interesting. I never expected this to turn out as well as it did-the car made for some interesting reflections! Oh, I had a technical problem of the head being a little soft, so I experimented with a lot of sharpening. Let me know if I over sharpened or if there is something else I can do to fix it.

Elaine, I think this picture looks fantastic. I love the reflections of the car, and the three main colours look great together. It doesn't look over-sharpened to me.

Very nice. I love the reflections and at first thought this was a leaf on water. I think you did a good job on your sharpening and see no problems. You might want to try to selectively lighten the area behind the head on the Katydid's body - not to much though. It looks fine as shown but I think it might look even better without as much contrast with the head. Numerous ways to do this but a slight dodge might be the easiest.

Fantastic capture! I'm glad the leaf blur in the foreground doesn't obstruct the insect. The colors (and that dark b/g) in this are terrific. I hope you enter it!

I, too, thought the leaf was on water! I think you sharpened it just right and the colors/comp are just about perfect. I'd enter in the contest as Christopher suggested :)

Very cool! Mikes suggestion should be all this needs.

Elaine, I have never seen one of these bugs but then, the camouflage is so perfect that perhaps I have without knowing it! Super image!
