What's poundlosting? O.K. shot, but needs wider DOF. 6 Swash

feeling blue

Lovely shot. I really like these flowers (forget the name), from a straight on view, they resemble blue fireworks, plus that view is "flatter" so less need for a broader depth of field. Pretty good depth of field, petals pointing at us are a bit out of focus. 8 Swash

Really nice black and white. It's a bit dark in the upper left corner, but all in all, a very nice shot. 9 Swash

Kinda looks more like sunset mooring, but that's O.K. Nice sunset and reflection. Most of the boats are really hard to see (dark). 7 Swash

Great shot! (Better than the one I didn't submit, whew!) Very good wings!!!! I like the blue kind better, but I couldn't get one to sit still, either. 10 Swash

Nice lighting, view in the deep background and the xmas lights are a nice touch. Vertical framing - I would have liked it better if there were more even shadowing at the top as well as the bottom of this photo. 7 Swash

Nice city scape. I would have been tempted to center on the building farthest away, but this turns out to be an interesting, atypical view. Nice job!!

This is so cool. Don't know how you did, don't really care, it's just cool. I really like the reds dancing all over. (It has horns) 9 Swash

Nice thought, but ouch. Sun washes out much of this shot. Kinda interesting sun rings, how did you avoid lens flares? 6 Swash

Sweet Spot

Wow, this is the best of the wasp shots. Too bad the flower's pestal is in the way. Most of this week's shots had serious macro/depth of field problems. In your case, the wasp is more on a single plane, leaving it all in focus. I think I would have liked having more of the flower in focus, but in this case, the lack of depth isn't so bad for the subject. 8 Swash
