One of the things I am looking for is an image that can stand on its own outside the challenge. This is it. Love the image everything works - 9, may bump on next pass. Decided I would hang this on my wall. Bump to 10

Guess my size

The problem with photographing something so small is the loss of detail when you make it as large as possible (one of the reasons I didn't enter my sweatbee image). Voters here want big/in your face. The image itself looks a tad oversharpened due to the what had to be a 100% crop, yes? Most people won't look at it that way - its a shame. 7 - good luck in the challenge!

The reflection on the water and the water itself is great. I think the lighting is a tad harsh - I like it on the right side but on the left it makes the orange a little unattractive. I think it is because it penetrates the orange peel to some degree. I think the composition/crop are good. 6 - good luck in the challenge!

beautiful color and composition. What may hurt you here is the depth of field. Its a little short. Good luck in the challenge! 6

while an interesting macro, as a photograph it lacks interest. I love the abstractness of the green and white skin but the beige center part is, well, unattractive. May be improved by photgraphing the other end. 5 - good luck in the challenge!
