The only thing that you really gotta work on here is the composition -- the same things that apply in other types of photography still need to be applied to macro.

This is good -- I think the concept would be better received with a different challenge theme other than the current one, but either way...nice shot.

way too strong of flash in certain areas...tone it back some or diffuse it some more.

Going back and editing out comments that aren't helpful to the photographer.

oh wow...beautiful. How in the heck did you get such great tones on the girl's face? She looks familiar, but I can't remember where...awesome shot, definately top 10 at least.

You're the man! I like the shallow depth of field here...looks like you nailed it (maybe a tad bit in front of the eyes) -- great shot.

Oh wow, I'm flattered. I guess you got an idea of how hard it is to get that light in a nice circle.

The hardest part is getting the light bulb to be illuminated nice enough to stand out without blowing out the floor heh...you seem to have done a really nice job. Good luck!

All in all, I find it a great tribute to the photo that I entered. I hope you win!
