Treading carefully

Nice shot, shame that ladybug is not also in sharp focus. Good detail on the husks and the spikes are quite well defined. Nice colors and background. Maybe more space to the right/different crop may have made this better in my opinion, not sure.

8 - Wow. Great shot. Criticism; 'if only' that right wing were sharp, but then likely lose the 'face'. Nice colors, good capture. Good 'pose'.

7 - Yes. Criticism; not much, more detail maybe, closer, if possible. Difficult capture I imagine so well done. Maybe a slightly different 'crop'/placement, not sure.

5 - Good idea and potential. Criticism; difficult as am no expert in shutter speed, but seems to me the focal point is 'off', not sure. Perhaps a different clock face, different crop, angle, may have helped this in my opinion.

Two Windows

7 - Wow, very nice scene, complemented by the effect with the water flow. Criticism; only really that this seems like it needs a nudge rotation up on the left, but I could be wrong (apologies if so), it may just be the angle/perspective you have taken it.

2 - This is a very nice shot of a rose, but 'Busy'? If anything the opposite - 'calm', to me at least. Doesn't meet the Challenge in my opinion, even if I try to 'busy' the petals (which I did), but again, a nice shot.

Leaf Conjuror

6 - Good shot/potential. Criticism; although it would 'change the shot', I would like to see the face of the 'cow suit occupier'. Good stop action of the leaves, difficult, but maybe more 'vivid' color in the leaves.

8 - Oh, good shot, good coloring. Nice macro(?). Good 'catch' for the Challenge. Really like the way you captured the 'leg work' here. Criticism; more detail somehow (tighter crop perhaps, but then you lose the perspective) on those legs 'working', may have made this even better in my opinion. Like the composition - with the 'diagonal' using the web and 'whiteness', etc.

7 - Good shot and coloring. Criticism; not much, perhaps a slightly tighter crop at the bottom/fore but that grass/seedheads(?) add a good element in my opinion so not sure.
