Loooove the colours and especially how the background colours mimic the beetle ones. Though I usually love extremely shallow DOF, I think it could afford to be just a touch deeper here.

Choice of backdrop colour works well to give a very funky, modern feel to this shot...

Most cool. In particular I love the purple of the sky against the aqua and green of the wheel lights. Just lovely.

Lovely, just lovely! Now this is an image that I know, had I taken it on safari, I'd be sooooo pleased with, so elated about... and yet I don't know how well it works without that emotional connection to the experience of seeing the animal in real life? It's a good shot, certainly, but not a "Wow" shot, I think. Still, as I said, I know I'd be happy if this were mine!

Oh yes, I do like this. Yes, I know it's a set up of three unrelated snails but I don't care one bit - it's so Alice in Wonderland! I love quirky! Plus I am a sucker for extremely shallow DOF and high contrast black and white! So you have it all really! Top shot!

Bee in Leopard Lily Paradise

Wow, what colours! Though I would prefer this without the bee - I don't think it's a great focal point compared to the flower and given that the flower attracts my focus, I don't need the bee really! Composition and shallow DOF great too - I love the contrast between reds and yellow of the foreground and blues and greens behind.

Lovely, lovely use of silhouette and framing together. The texture of the background arches/ walls is wonderful, the overall composition excellent and I just love the simple detail of the workman and his tool.

Lovely clarity of detail and what wonderful textures and colours! I love the dried and dying petals, twisting and falling away from the stem. The shallow DOF is perfect and composition also spot on.

Oh I do love deserts, especially where the sand is red, the dunes are so wonderfully shaped and the sky is deep blue with fluffy white clouds!
