    Great idea and nice execution. I would suggest removing the background flowers in the bottom but that would result in a pretty dramatic crop.

    Did the little guy ever make it to the top? Did he ever "peek" around the blade?

    Funny title, it reminds me of my former albino pet rabbit (white with red eyes) who would 'hide' in the tall grass from me.... a white rabbit trying to hide in green grass. I guess she thought that if she couldn't see me that I couldn't see her(?!)

    This shot is OK. Maybe if it was zoomed in a bit closer it woudl be even more effective. But macro lenses are expensive... not bad for what it is.

    Emily, I think the composition is pretty good the way the leaf is angled the way it is. I believe a sense of mystery exists (I wonder what's going on behind that leaf).

    John, GB & Loupey...thanks for all your thoughts on this!

    Loupey...I might see what I can do to crop out the flowers...but it might be too much. He actually had crawled up one side of the blade of grass and moved around to the back of it, while I was watching him...lol.

    Ha! You don't often see humorous pictures of bugs (actually, this may be a first for me), but this one made me chuckle. Nice job!
