Judges' comments:
Impact! Background is nicely blurred; front end of bug is very sharp; might like the bug's left front leg more in focus
Maker's notes:
Assassin bugs take many odd forms, but this is just a common stink bug.
They skewer their prey on their proboscis (pictured folded along the underside of the subject) to suck out their insides.
