Nice detail in the center and surrounding flights. It looks like you used a very generous DOF. The strong contrast in the background distracts a little from the dandelion for me, but the sharpness of it helps mitigate that.

Wow! Wonderfully executed! I love the composition, the 'lighting', and the colors are very cool. :)

Congratulations and it's nice to see your shots here again! I can see what you mean about having difficulty picking your entry. Those are some nice outtakes.

ETA: And a special congrat's on your new non-ribbon high score! You just have to hope no one at the top DQs and ruins this for you :P

Wow! That's an amazing perspective. I love that you captured the eggs in there and great detail in her eye. You must have been fairly close to her, so I'm curious how you got this without upsetting the wasp?

LOL! Most offensive DPC image ever (not that I've looked for any others). So, with all of the posthumous type awards out there, perhaps you could start awarding this ribbon to your choice of most DNMC for challenges. It would be a true honor to get this along with a brown in one fell swoop. :P

Excellent Photo Domino post with this one! I love the false perspective you created with the lighting. I really thought it was just a strange looking staircase from the thumb. Very fun shot.

Congratulations on the 5th place. This was my top pick, particularly since you were one of the few who actually met the challenge and did it in such an affective and beautiful way.

Very interesting perspective on this cute guy. The misc. hairs on the nose and around it are a little distracting to me & I might have pulled those off for the shot. Good detail on the nose and the lighting works. The composition is alright, but I might have played with angles to get more of the nose in the frame and just a little lower just to be picky. Cute shot overall.

ETA: By the way, I really loved your entry for the bummer challenge. That was quite a catch and I don't understand how it ended up below 6.
