Processing Someone on another site suggested all of the above and, while I do appreciate their honest criticism, I am still struggling to perceive the photo the way that they did. Hopefully someone here can help me.

Well, the cicada does seem a bit contrasty, but frankly on a low resolution monitor (like any of the computer screens us viewers can look at) it's hard to tell if it's a matter of overprocessing, Connie. Since prints can show much more detail and nuance than a screen, that's the place to tell...

It does seem to show more-than-minor tweaking of some kind, to me... probably heightened by the near-all-white background, mixed with the vivid green leaves... those seem the most "processed" to me. (I also don't remember the cicadas in 2004 year having such a green tint to their body and wings, which may contribute to that processed look.) Still, an eye-catching capture of one of my all-time favorite insects.

Thanks Bob and Christopher. I really appreciate your comments. Christopher, this guy was just newly hatched and waiting to dry. I think that is why he is so green.
