This is an excellent shot. The decision to desaturate everything but the eye color was good, it works here! Well done.

This looks dangerous, is it a snake? It is difficult to make out what it is. The reflection in the water is clear although the water gives me the impression that there is oil floating on it. Good capture.

Hi Yanik: This is one image I thought would do a lot better than 22nd. My pick was in the top three, but there is no accounting for voter's tastes right?

The first thing that hit me when I looked at this pic is the vivid deep red you've managed to bring out. It seems almost at the point of being oversaturated but it isn't, you've kept it just under the borderline. I am sure this took a lot of work with the setting up and the post processing to get it right.

The composition is excellent. I love the humor aspect you've created here. I gave this photo a 9, the reason I didn't give it the full 10 is because of the lighting which appears to be a little overdone at the top left and around the back left of the glass. It creates an uneven effect on the whole background.

Other than that this is a fantastic photo which was one of my 3 favourites for the week. Well done.

Choice shot! The snail forms a leading line into the flower. The colors are very complementary. This is very good!

Bug on leaf

Simple title but funny. I like the way you have composed this, the bug is kind of in the spotlight on a stage and is wanting to perfom, good capture!

Good title, very fitting. The shallow DOF makes your elephant stand out a lot more. Pity his eye is closed though although that doesn't reduce the quality of this image.
