Anatomy of a Butterfly Wing

I really like how you got close enough to almost see the individual powdery scales on the wings. I just can't tell if the wings are blurred, or if it naturally looks that way...

Sound Waves...or...Can You Hear Me Now?

Very, very good photo, technically. I wonder about the girl's expression, though, as she isn't smiling with her eyes. It disturbs the mood by adding confusion to the basic atmosphere of innocent curiosity.

Beautiful color. The three dark spots in the photo are a little distracting, though, but you can't (and shouldn't) touch up nature.

Acid Rain

This is actually.... a more presentable, clean, startling view of death (roadkill?). It's absolutely striking. This is excellent and sad, and its exact enough to view with a purely scientific eye. This unfortunately probably won\\\'t score high overall because it\\\'s not a postcard photo, but be assured that you\\\'ve done very well to capture a very difficult subject. You *should* score in the top, even if you don\\\'t.

Very nice - an uncommonly nonsuperficial photo. I wish the level of focus was slightly more to the foreground.

oh well- i still think you should have scored among the top photos, if not have been the winner. obviously only mainstream, postcard styles will "win" in the dpchallenge, but don't worry- I really like this photo, and I'm sure others do too. you wouldn't have prints available would you?

I\'m surprised at myself; this photo holds a lot of appeal for me, even though I\'d expect myself not to like it (because of its... oddness). I can\'t pinpoint it, but that up-close number against the blur background is just pretty nice.
