This is a great piece. I think the post production has worked well but it does look more like art than a photo as a result. Personally I like this and it still shows all the nice detail of the bug and leaves. Good work.

Very beautiful!! Great focus on the main parts and in separating the background but leaving the color to blend in perfectly. Such a small creature on what seems so large. I really enjoyed this. Wonderful work!

Wonderful initial impression! This is a great entry for the color green contest, the hibiscus leaves and bud stand out very well in this tone on tone composition, the bug stands out from the green leaves , nice detail is clear to view throughout this image this is well photographed, good focus/ clarity, perfect exposure , natural green tones and tonal variations. Very well composed . This is a pleasure to view! Best to you in the contest!

You certainly have a lot of green in this shot! Your full and central composition grants us a good look at your subjects. Never heard of a stink bud before! Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

A nicely composed shot in which the hibiscus bud stands out from the background. The bug is very sharp and the colors are outstanding. Best of luck in the contest.
