I really like the implications of this photo. Very well done and the facelessness (is that a word?) is a nice touch. The only thing is maybe a slightly longer crop so you see more of her body might have made the photo a bit better compositionally.

So how many times did you have to reset the penguins?

J/K All kidding aside, a very nice photo. Very clever and well executed photo

Fabulous! Great use of having one flower as the main subject with a nice use of DOF for the others. I also like how there is a space in the petal so you can see the other parts of the flower (forgot the names...) and the stem

For me, the color works really nice. With the colour and the clouds, it adds an almost mystical dynamic to the picture. Cool photo!

Love everything about the picture, but I'm not sure about the sky. The hue is to different from the water. Very nice picture

I like the color of the water and at the same time I don't. I know that doesn't make sense, but I think a tighter crop towards the top where you you can see the effect of the long exposure will help. The eye won't be as distracted by the water in teh foreground.

I would play around with levels and some selective color to see if you can enhance the picture.

Very nice photo

Of the three, I like this one the best. Compositionally, it works for me. Great feeling with the long exposure, and nice detail as well. Veru nice!

wow! what a cool bug

Agree with cpanaioti about more DOF. Some detail is also lost under the shell in the front where it's head is... Maybe it's my monitor though.

I know... my bees never cooperate unless I threaten to put them in the freezer :P (slows insects down when you put them in the freezer or fridge)

Anyways, awesome shot and nice use of selective desat
