I enjoyed the wonderful variety of insects. It was very hard to choose.

Third place:

I liked how the flower and butterfly were all in focus. It is hard to get all of a flower like that in focus without having a busy background.

Second place:

Walter Otto Koenig

This butterfly just pops - it almost seems like it is floating above the background.

First place:

Markus Grompe

I loved the colors of this very interesting Japanese Tiger Bug. Very nicely captured.

Congratulations to all!
