I like this Scott. I particularly like the color palette and the critter adds a lot of interest for me. He sure looks like a chopper. Puts me back more than a few years. (smile)

Scott: An already marvelous shot made even more so by the party crasher IMO. Nice catch, good photography. >=))>

The composition (with or without the party crasher) is outstanding Scott. Every element you have here is so very well controlled.

What a beautiful surprise opening the thumbnail! The contrast of the two colors is at the maximum. I love little insects in a floral photo (sssst!).
Take care.
