A tasty Thai treat served up on chopsticks

Simply brilliantly taken - I love the wetness of the lips - really looks like they are salivating over the locust meal!

It's been a keen debate on DPC for quite some time whether we really need images like this. In itself not a bad photo although it looks like poor photoshopping around the door.
Don't know whether it's the shock factor or not but my first thoughts were unneccessary and gratuitous. However, more to the point in a photo challenge - very poorly executed (no pun intended).

"POP !" a macro illusion

Well Done! Quite how this didn't get a Blue I don't know! It's the best executed and most imaginative entry by far.

Great model, good pose, good composition. A bit too airbrushed and cloned. You could have left some blemishes in and it would have looked fine.

Unfortunately with close-up portraits you have to get the details perfect.
The stray hairs on the nose and lips, the small blemishes on the chin and cheek and the badly applied makeup really spoil this well-composed shot.

I like this but it looks manipulated. What's going on with the lighbulb and the figure?

Not original but brilliantly taken and crisp with a perfect DoF.

...and now something totaly diffrent

Comment:
I realise the DoF is deliberate but I think it would benefit from being a bit deeper. Otherwise I really like this one. If I was nit-picking I'd say that the screw third from the right at the bottom is too distracting. But I'm not - so I won't !
