Strange, the light on the tip of the nose. Sure makes for a point. This coin has been thru the mill and your shot shows it. Very clear and sharp. I think I understand the crop job. Good work. Nice strong 7. PTL

Clear enough to see the hair on the flower. Beautiful color. Don't know that I've seen this flower before. A different crop than I would have done, but it works here. Nice job. 6 for it. PTL

In the thumbnail they look like trash and weeds. In the large shot they are beautiful. There's something almost magical about the colors. The placement of the 3 flowers is fantastic. The space between the 2 and the 1 eye catching. There is something about this photo that grabs you. It's almost miystical. Wish I could explain better the good qualities. It has "wow". A ;10 for me.

Shame you can't submit the same photo for two challenges. Makes a good technology shot. Good sharp focus. Would have liked a lighter background personally. But this does fram the "part" well. Good crop. Good focus - can even read the marking on the unit it self. Good solid 9. PTL

The white streaks in the background don't really detract, I just know they are there. This looks like an air plant. What ever it is georgeous. I love the use of the shadow, adds great depth . Would have liked to see the tips of the three that go to the edge and a little less empty on the far side. But still a solid 8. PTL

AWESOME! Text book perfect - as far as I'm concerned. Can't get above 10. PTL This is so refreshing. A shore 1st place - or should be.

Small and still beautiful

Small ain't the word for it. Great way to display just how small. Hope you haven't committed a crime. Your fingerprints are clear enough to convict you. But the flower is just a little soft. The only other thing I see is whatever is on the right side. I'd a cropped it out. Still you con't complain about an 8. PTL

Good bug. Bad Crop. Ruined the whole thing. Could have been an 8, or better, but as it is it's only a 5. And it's that high because it is such a good bug.
