Way cool, Sandy. This looks like something designed for a grade B sci-fi pic. Great job here. Good detail and super colors. One weird looking insect.

Excellent look at a face only a mother could love. Good comp and focus right where it needed to be, Sandy.

Interesting image Sandy. I would like to have seen more in focus, maybe more straight towards the cicada so you could have both eyes in focus. Still a neat macro photo. Thanks for sharing.

Great choice of dof, Sandy, to bring out what you wanted to. Very striking viewpoint and some fine textures in the lichen and on the cicada's body. Oh, and a bit scary too !!!
