Christy,
Shucks, thanks for the kind words
I don't think I'd have a chance in any photo contests though.
Instead I think I may take Quinn's advice and submit it to the community savings calendar. Since the pictures have to be Albertan, I may not enter it as an emerald crab... instead I would probably say that it is a closeup of the "common mule deer ear mite" or something like that
