Very cool, did anyone get burned? Your camera has two burned out pixels, I think, they show up on either side of your subject's wrists, there could be more. (Absolutely no downscore!!!!) In fact, you get a 10 from me. Swash
There was a forum discussion about this pixel burnout thing last week. If you weren't involved, you should check it out.

Nice idea, but on my display, the stars look like they are running together in a crossing pattern, very distracting. It's a bit blurry, too, did you mean for that?

Side shot of broad flower needs wider DOF. Near petals out of focus. I like the arrangement, color, framing. 6 Swash

Bzzz

Comment:
Wow, this is so much better than my bee shot from last week, but there is NO way this puppy is alive. Wing speed vs. Digital cam shutter speed alone. So, how did you do this? Normally, bees completely fold up their legs when dead. Stephan will be mad if you killed this bee for the shot (don't tell him). 10 Swash

Cool use of reflected colors on this crystal swan. Not thrilled with the background, but can't suggest a better one. 8 Swash

Blue in Motion

Very nice shot! I think the blue is too thick in a few places, but what do I know? (I haven't tried this sort of shot) 9 Swash (I still like it!)

Indian Dreams
by unclebo

Comment:
It's a bit jumbled, overly busy to start with. The central theme of indian dreams is nice, but the mix of old and new, wide spread indian cultures, plains/sw/7 nations/northern too diverse. (I am an Anthropologist with a small amount of indian blood/heritage) Try this again with fewer objects, maybe from a single geographical area, it will be more effective. 5 Swash

Rainbow Lighthouse

Comment:
I would have liked more attention on the rainbow (brighter, more pronounced) Was there a pot of gold in the lighthouse? 7 Swash

Workout

Comment:
Pretty nice facility. The white bench/glare around it are the only problem item I can see in this. I like having demonstration/activity, but this works, too. 8 Swash

A bit grainy and pixelated. Did you hit the sharpen function a few too many times?
