Madagascar hissing Cockroach

This was taken this summer at the Oregon Zoo at their insect display. This guy kinda creeped me out but I didn't have to hold it. I had the nice girl hold it for me while I took the image. I used one of my actions on it to bring out the blue/green in the background (that's the cage below). I find it's one of my favorites from my trip to the zoo.

Arya,

I like the part of the image where the cokroach is with the fingers. The hand is covered with this yellow bright areas with I guess no detail??. Why not crop?

Could you show other pics so we can see the head?

Asher, your right, I ended up cropping it into a square making the roach the main part of the image. Unfortunately this was the only shot I got of the roach, kinda creeped me out so I took a few shots and scadaddled on to see the other animals and plants.
