Tulip

I'm a bit baffled by what's going on in this picture... what are the blobs above and to the left of the tulip? They look really odd. Lovely light on the tulip.

Interesting take on challenge... although not normally a fan of word-play. Great special effects! Would be nice to have had more sharpness.

Wonderful idea, very creative. Would be nice to have a tad more contrast in the shot. Great composition. I may have prefered this in colour.

Nice detail shot, the symmetry is spot on. Colours are perhaps a bit muted, maybe raise the gamma? Some lovely blues in the clock.

Beautiful, clean composition. Very effective white background. Lovely shades of green. Effective use of water drops. Interesting subject. Should do well!

Wonderful. Was this achieved in PS, as the colours are those of a rainbow from the inside out? I must try this on a centred rose.

'Bee'ing in the Center

Nice macro... unfortunately the bee/wasp doesn't really stand out from his background which is a little too busy and cluttered.

Stunning... I'd have worked in PS on the eye a little to make the catchlight/reflections a little more appealing. Shame the top feather has been cropped off in your composition. Great dof. Wonderful expression captured. Surely portrait orientation would have worked better than landscape? Some dodging and burning requred to really make justice to this photo.

Interesting portrait, but comes across as a bit of a snapshot. Noise levels here are huge... could NeatImage not help before resizing?

Strunning, impressive dof. Great textures, composition, colours. Radius in USM looks like it was a little too large here though. Lots of noise... probably as the photo was taken at high ISO to improve the dof? I'm sure NeatImage could have improved the purple background in particular. Should do well.
