This looks like the business end of something hairy. Very mysterious.

Something in a transparent enclosure. The upper right hand corner looks clear and sharp, but the rest looks like there is some plastic/glass covering.

I like the composition of the photo, but the spots and sharp white/black leads me to believe it is over contrasted. I could be wrong.

Matches garden?

The lighting seems to harsh on the (brush?) If there is any way you can use multiple lights, lamps, etc... I think that would help to give the photo more dimension.

Very microscopic looking. This reminds me of my photo. I had a difficult time deciding how to crop it because the DOF is so limiting on the macro scale. I probably would have cut out the lower quarter of this photo so that the viewer isn't distracted by the OOF spikes on the lower left hand corner. I definitely think that would make it stronger.

**after challenge**

but you obviously knew better than me. Congrats on the high finish!

I would have given you a 10 if you touched it. Just kidding I would have called you an idiot and given you a 5. You will have to settle on an 8.
