Hello everyone,

Well, I was hoping there would be a little better turnout, but none the less we have 3 really good entries.

After some time of debaiting about which one is best, here is the order.

3rd place goes to RodM - Beelejuice. Very nice picture as I liked the red and green colors on this guys head. Well done!

2nd place goes to Warl0rd - Big Eyes. I'm assuming it is a type fly? Wonderful shot of his big eyes. It Looks like he is going to jump at you! A really good shot!

1st place goes to John_B - Evil Eyes. Just love the varying color of the eyes. His anteni look like they could touch, if you got a little too close. Also love how dark it is around the edges, and then there is some light on his body which looks like he has a fur jacket on. I think it is an amazing photo! I can't say enough good things about it!

Congratulations John_B - Evil Eyes this weeks winner of the Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #120 The eyes have it (#2)

Warl0rd,
It is a female Deer Fly...
Beautiful eyes but I hate them as they suck blood from mammals and humans, which then hurts and itches severely.
