Interesting piece of art. I really like the reflections you've captured here. The lights themselves look nicely exposed with the shutter speed you used leaving nothing overexposed.

I love the lines in this photo and how they draw the eye through the shot. Your DOF really created a focal point on the flowers center which works well.... 8

Green without envy

Very reminiscent of the famous National Geographic cover shot. I like the detail and focus on this. IMHO more exposure on the eyes may have added to the shot, as the burst of color seems to stem more from the head-dressing rather than the eyes. Yet, the eyes are the main focal point of the shot. Just my humble opinion, nice shot nonetheless... 8

Lovely photo. The color intense color saturation and tones you've captured make this really nice. I like the composition you've used also as it creates more dimension to the shot..... 7

Straws

Nice colors and artistic still life here. I think having more of a concrete focal point may have added to the shot (ie one or two straws protruding up from the pile)

Twisted

Nice creative use of composition and DOF. The way the object appears to twist in and out of focus really makes this interesting as well as adds depth to the shot. Admittedly, the 'burst of color' theme seems really understated here. But I like the shot regardless..... 7
