Your photo gives me a fairy tale kind of feel to it.. The dark element in the lower left detracts for me visually, but I like it otherwise.

A Butterfly Convention

Personally, I'm not a fan of the post processing or a lot of noise & grain - but that's just my taste. Good composition though.

Your image is simple, but I like it. Good choice to use b&w as color may have been too busy. Great title that fits the challenge. Well done.

I like your composition, colors and DOF. For me, I feel like the flower is speaking out to the softly colored blurred background...I like that aspect.

Beautiful, Confident, Deadly

For me, the box seems kind of a random element and doesn't quite fit or another element is needed. I do like her pose and the contrasting color of her clothes to the white, and the title fits the challenge description.

"A Beautiful Child"

I like the tight close up and the eyes. For me, it seems maybe a bit over processed with the light, but overall a good image and the title fits the challenge.

Psst! Hey buddy! XYZ!

For me, I wish you had just gone with the "XYZ" for your title to keep more in line with the challenge description. I like the tonal values and lighting. This is one of those photos that people think about taking, but that you actually did.

Rain Soaked Tree

For me, at first glance, your image is visually deceptive. My eyes saw the dark tree on the right and followed the outstretched branch, leading me to think the flowers were from that branch. As my eyes adjusted to your image I saw the flowers are hanging by a different branch and in a way seem to be kind of...."floating" for lack of a more technical word. (I'm not much of a technical person, so you'll have to bear with my first impression comment).

A Bee Collecting

I like all the pollen fuzzies on the bee. Good insect macro. Your image makes bees look almost cute.

It's Just Kermit!

:-) Your photo made me smile. I like Kermit's expression. The background isn't the best with the cars, parking lot and people, but fun to look at.
