Dtergent! I love it! :D

Too many notable mentions to mention =D
 
Dtergent, with IAMTHOUGHTS a close second. loads of amazing entries in this one.

i thought i had a good one until i saw the rest of them rolling in. :\
 
IAT clinched it for me. I think that I've been spending too much time in the lounge-- I just pictured the little guy saying 'Oh, hai thar!'. A very expressive photo, and I am a sucker for lots of green.

Lots of great entries this round. I really need to dust off the ol' point-n-shoot and start entering these again.
 
I AM THOUGHTS--I'm with Dave that was a very expressive picture.

BA close second and eDDe9 third--gotta love an insect that loves guiness :)
 
i voted for cletus' beating wings.

awesome round, everyone except me :D
 
Damn, this was definitely the hardest choice I have had to take for these photo rounds. I eventually got it down to 4 clear choices. Dtergent, notauniquesnowflake, BA & IAMTHOUGHTS. I went with the latter because I really, really love the dumb look on it's face.

^Awww! Cheers fella.
 
I went with Dtergent. I love the colors and the clarity.

Do some of you people have special macro lenses or something?
 
i went for pillthrill. it's a creative, cute idea.
dtergent and iamthoughts were close contenders
 
i voted BA

wow, it makes me happy that so many of you liked that photo so much. i actually had a 16x20 version hanging in a local gallery for a few months and my dad has one in his "den" also.

pennywise: my photo was taken using the 18-55mm "kit lens" that came with my canon rebel xt.

i have a 300mm zoom, and a 50mm for portraits, but neither will do close ups like the one that came with my camera. i think the minimum focus distance is around 11cm wich is very far compared to some of the new point and shoot cameras that can focus 1cm from the lens in macro mode.

no macro lens here.. not sure what anyone else is using though.

also i watched that grasshopper on the same plant for 5 days, so it wasnt a one shot deal. i took 100-200 shots of that same bug.

wow thats dedication! :) definately worth it though :)
 
IAMTHOUGHTS totally ate me in this round :D Gets my vote too, cause that thing is saying "Hello"

PW- I use a Canon 400D DSLR. Haven't bought any extra lens or anything. Still transitioning into digital. Never been a "paraphernalia" person, but I try to make do with whatever I have and just always set them on Manual.
 
There were SO many great photos this round, but felix's photo just won me over from the first time I saw it :)
 
Is it lame that I'm actually proud of my picture? I guess I don't do it very often so maybe thats why. :)
I went with IAMTHOUGHTS.

lol holy shit! that's dedication right there. I wish I had enough free time to spend 5 days watching a bug and taking pictures of it.
