Opening an unlocked door

I really hope this shot ribbons. Perfectly meets the stated challenge description. The texture on the ground is excellent. The fall of the light is perfect. The background through the gate really gives it a feeling of the vast unknown. Composition is excellent. A very unique submission amidst the stacked rocks and plant shots. Just an all around great shot, grats.

Very cool, what did you rub on yourself? Looks like it could be an ad for a horror movie. Personally I like the crop because the overwhelming amount of black ads to the freakiness. You should post another one with your eyes completely blacked out ;)

Wow, really nice. Love the composition, the lighting, the interesting subject. Really love the fact that it meets the challenge dead on. Giving out a rare 10. Way to go.

This will probably ribbon but honestly the PP looks so contrived and has been done so many times now... Still, a nice shot. Composition could be a little more interesting, arrangement of slices notwithstanding. 6.

Absolutely excellent. So sick of seeing bug shots and then this one comes along that not only meets the challenge to the letter but has excellent lighting, perfect composition, perfect focus. Damn, the list goes on. This should be THE STANDARD for bug shots.

10. Hope you ribbon.

Like the shot, but it suffers from the lighting. Subject needs to jump out from the background more. A noble attempt. 5.

Color on color is the challenge. Why even submit this? Blues, whites, greens, yellow, reds.

Crop out the purple stem or change it's color to match the other greens and this would have been a great shot.
