It's a beauty. Congratulations!
A few years back I once tried a similar idea with a glass stem but it was not as near as beauitful as this. I didn't end up posting it ;)

You did a swell job with this macro. I can vouch that it's not as easy as it looks to get a shot of a bubble like this.

Amy/AJ?... you win! ;)
Really like the soft look and color. The background here is one I've tried to find but haven't. All the elements look very much in place and just wonderfully composed. Also like that really subtle hint of glow. Looks great!

Kudos for mentioning where you got the idea from. I remembered seeing it somewhere but wasn't sure who shot it. It's a very good attempt and you shot it a little differently. It has a bit of your own in it for sure :)

Preening Flamingo

Splendid shot all around! Eh those DNMC votes. You can easily see the top back of the bird, this was shot really straight down. Don't think I've ever seen a flamingo shot from this angle before. It creates a beautiful curve with its neck.

Head Shot

Congratulations on the blue :)

This shot caught my eye while I was browsing(didn't vote) all the pics. It's a really feel good shot, and I'm glad to see so many other happy family, beach and vacation shots posted. A pretty cool one at that. Mine was also a toss in. Love when that happens, and how rare LOL.

Great sentiment. One of the best uses of selective/creative blur (in camera or PS) I've seen in a while. One of my top10 faves from the challenge. (no vote, just leaving comments).

Very creative. Really fun take on the ole flower from above. Odd that someone had to initiate a validation request as this looks like something perfectly real, but on the other hand I'd take it as an honor that they thought it was too good to be true ;)
I'd only suggest some light fill on the right side of the frame, or dodge the highlights there. Would really add a bit of pop I think. (no vote, just leaving comments)
