I like the colors and the angles. Maybe a little closer crop?

i saw this pic In picasa........

Great shot. Did you see the Elephant while you were shooting of when you were later looking at the image. I'll bet it was an amazing trip.

wow.. old is gold ! good one.

oh so much of variety

Congrats on your 1st place! Very nice.

Very nice composition and very traditional...good job author.

Think we've got a winner here, dear author

oh thanks for providing the information on that

perfect

Very good. At first I thought you were referring to the brownish object nearer to the front. The two bumps kind of look like ears. But when I looked closely in high res I can see him. Good job!

Vivere pericolosamente, author, if you catch my drift. Had to go on HR, and then further magnify, so that I could see it's an animal. Good one. Cheetah, or what?

Oh no - your glass is empty lol

Good

The square is too centered IMHO.
You have this beautiful texture of the wood to take advantage & use the rule of thirds.

nice snap.......... congrats

really great snap.............

Good one, author!

And I thought you lot were being facetious lol !

I was hoping you weren't talking about the giraffe

Oh, yeah! It has to be a pachyderm of some sort!

You got a great vote on this, fantastic shot at a daring location. That elephant really is hidden behind the tree.

sure likes an elephant hiding in the back great capture

I could be wrong... but is that an elephant coming in from the left?

Could you please give us a clue ? Because at first, seconf and third sight ... your hidden animal is really well hidden

it didn't give me the impression that the fork is stabbed into anything!

Love the butterfly too - good catch

I really like how you have achieved a minimalist feel with this yet the grass and animals in the BG still leave you with a sense of the open plains

We call them slater bugs - no idea why!

WHOA! i stepped away for a while, and i come back to see this?? author, you surprise me. always have.
good job with your blending! and best of luck!

Nice shot !
I think it would be more meaningful placed elsewhere in the picture. Why not trying the rule of third with placing the center of the woodlice in the first third of the photo ?

Great shot for a so small thing !

I am tired of this face!

I worry not what it is I am to occupied thinking amazing it is :-}

I really like the contrasting colors.

Nice capture, stunning in HR

Nice DOF

Potato bugs are also known as Jerusalem Crickets...just found that out, thought I'd pass it on.

This is such a cool shot! Well done author!

Excellent... it does look like some swimming monster. Good job

It's very cool shot. It looks like a floating bug or fossil - and curious as well how you did the shot

Yeah, or a pill bug. Cool shot... how'd you do it?

it's a potato bug...or what some like to call a roly poly?

Great capture!

Not crazy about the shot itself but good concept.

Nice work on the splahes.

Oooo very pretty!

lovely
