Back to Julia Pfeiffer Burns State park we go :-) This is possibly my favorite intimate view on earth...

1-dec 09 whatever. Long Legged Fly & Eggs?
by roz

Comment:
Some types of flies do carry their eggs until they hatch, yes. And some types of fly eggs are orange. In fact, there's a fishing fly pattern that emulates a fly carrying orange eggs, I forget the name of it now. Furthermore, some flies actually carry the eggs INSIDE their bodies until the hatch into maggots, then expel the maggots directly instead of laying the eggs. So there's a lot of approaches in the insect kingdom...

Ridiculously, pathetically, shamefully underrated, and I say this as one of your 10's... What can people be thinking? Or *not* thinking, as the case may be? Sigh... 5th favorite now, just added.

An image like this can only work well if it's as sharp as a tack, which this, unfortunately, is not. It *is* a nice design, however...

LOL. That's an utterly-out-of-the-box take on the concept "macro"... I guess you're doomed... It would be fun to see this finish anywhere in the vicinity of 6, so I'll get you started with a 7 :-)

Ah, I shoulda' commented on this one earlier, sorry. I gave you a 9, I think it's a fabulous shot. I'm the "other boat snout" in this challenge, and you whipped my butt. I love this image, and I'm delighted to see it garner a PB for you.

This is very well done. One doesn't have to live in (or visit) exotic locales in order to create evocative landscapes. I think this is an exceptional study, and beautifully understated in the processing.

For rose moles all in stipple upon trout that swim, fresh firecoal chestnut falls, finches' wings...

I was actually hoping to encounter a trout in this challenge :-) I quite like this, however.

Hiya Clark! Mind the Armadillo, though; he may be escaping...

Outstanding! I love it when I find myself giving yours high scores, a 9 in this case. And skewsme got a 10 from me. My values are torquing, no question about it.
