This is a beautiful piece! I love the variations of green in your work - a mix between spring green and olive. I like the layering of the sharper detailed leaves over the faded, less distinct leaves - it gives your piece depth and movement. And the little emerald colored stink bug looks like a little gem. Very nice!

Comment from KristiV
I really like the different green tones in this close up and the brushed out effect in the background. I didn't notice the little bug at first but then he popped out at me. Even his little legs are finely detailed. Good luck in the contest!

This is a super entry for this contest. The glow of the reflected light on the leaves and body of the bug gives this an Old Masters feel. Best of luck in the contest. This should be a strong contender for a win.

Nice image. It took a moment to find the wee bug.
I love the depth of field on this. The green emerging from the background its perfect. I feel like I am walking through the woods and just coming across incredible spot of sunlight.
It really makes me want to go for a hike in the woods.
Brilliant!

A beautiful & interesting picture of the Hibiscus bid & the colour matching Stink / sheild bug on it's leaf. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

euwww....I have those things all over my porch. Mine are brown. So use of the green one works with all the green in the leaves. Good capture and good photograph. Susan

Your ability to bring the important parts of the photo to the foreground makes this picture stand out. I appreciate the way you did the background in more subtle shades of green. The leaves are very distinctive, and the little bug could almost be missed as it blends in so well. Very nice!

This is lovely and a perfect entry for the color green contest with so much beautiful green color in the leaves, bug, and background! The sharpness is excellent and the light is wonderful.
