Technical: fits the challenge well. Exposure composition focus lighting al very good, love the detail in the little hairs!

Personal: I'm glad the leaves are in the background for context, otherwise this could look like some sort of space creature! :-)

Dendrobium Orchid

Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all very good, nice job capturing a better-than-the-usual shot of a relatively common subject.

Personal: The "inner glow" here is almost otherworldly. I love the colors, but I think they might border on too much.

Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure composition lighting good, focus seems too soft.

Personal: Cute idea, but the grain and mushy focus don't work for me. This reminds me of a 70's children's show character or something ;-)

Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all good. I think the DOF works nicely with the placement of the subject.

Personal: For me this is a little overdone with the color and the border. I'm sure others will love it though.

Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all good, nice job conveying a mood with your lighting.

Personal: At first I wasn't impressed by this, but after a couple of seconds I saw a face in the shot and that gave it a whole new dimension. I don't even know what this object is but in this case it's compelling. Nice job capturing the detail of the scuffs and scratches.
