Awesome choice here for the challenge. I wish both were in focus as it really would have made the picture pop. The colours are really great and I love the golden tint. REally adds something to it.

Interesting make up here of the shot. I really like the shadow of the top dragonfly. Good conrol of dof and nice contrasting colours.

Very nice. I typicaly do not like flower shots but this is exceptional. Great composition and lighting. It's got a very soft feel to it. Tolstoy said that art is defined by expressing a feeling that then can be shared with others. I think this is a nice example of this definition. Well done & good luck!

Very interesting take on the challenge. I like it very much. Sorry if you are getting ripped on technicalities for not shooting a literal representation of the challenge. The title is very apt as well. Good stuff!

Interesting. The expressions seem to bevery similar as well. In my experience, having subjects at different distances from the lens makes it very hard to have uniform focus/sharpness. While the subject on the left is a bit more sharp, the subject on the left is not outrageiously out of focus. Good job on this as it is hard to do.

I like the contrast of the calm in the foreground and the drama in the far background. Nice black & white capture and a good nifty take for this challenge.
