Unfamiliar Terrain

Nice subject & composition, but it needs more contrast to get the muddiness out of the background and to add more much to the subject. Good Work.

Nive use of negative space. The soft blue tones contrast beautifully with the black border. Good work.

Very unique concept and excellent composition, but the lightning is a tad bit harsh & unflattering. Good work.

Nice composition in how it leads your eyes across the image. The bold colors are graphically pleasing, but there seems to be a tad too much contrast. The subject seems a little blown out on the edges of the subject. Good work.

Tied as my highest rated image of the challenge. Razor sharp where it counts. Excellent subjects (Beauty & the beast) and flawless capture and post processing. Great work.

Tied as my highest rated image of the challenge. The low key lighting approach really makes your image stand out in this really green challenge. Great work.

Tied as my highest rated image of the challenge. The moment was captured at the perfect moment. The image is sharp where it counts, and the out-of-focus back gound is wonderful. Personally i would have cropped it into a vertical to (1) stand out from the crowd since most macros for some reason are landscapes and (2) Remove the flower gap in the lower right hand corner. Of course it is also fine the way it is. Great work.

Tied as my highest rated image of the challenge. Excellent shapness throughout the important areas and top notch post capture processing. I might have cropped more of the left side of the frame, but your choice is not distracting. great work.

It's about to get personal. (1:1 macro)

Tied as one of my highest rated images of the challenge, great work. I do, however, think the title could be better, and don't feel you need to list the reproduction ratio.
