beautiful, simple, right to the point. :) color, focus, DOF, POV, composition, dead on. 10 from me, good luck in the challenge!

Not sure what the white on the left is for. I like the DOF, POV. Detail, focus, clarity well done. Haven't decided on the crop /composition yet. Not sure if I would like it better on the right or not as the rope cuts the image in half.

High definition - pretty cool macro. People might mistake it for a manhole cover or something. ;) I like the composition and the contrast.

Interesting. Like the color tones used. Wish there was more to the bottom of the image - the nuts appearing out of nowhere don't give me (or them) a base - it makes the image seem truncated (like standing people without feet). I don't mind the noise but others will probably comment on it. Think the lighting is well done.

Title referring to the dragons? Very interesting image. I like the POV. Unfortunately, the lack of light and short DOV rendered the closest dragon a blob. A way to fix this so the dragon is more easily recognizable is to move further away and zoom in on the two dragons. If you have a little extra frame you can always crop it. Focal compression technique would also be useful here - it would move the dragons closer together so to speak, enabling you to have a shorter depth of field.

I think this image would have been greatly enhanced with a blue background. The white competes with the highlights, making the entire image washed out.

The composition is interesting but I really don't care for the coloration effect. I don't think it adds to the image as a whole. B&W may work.

Interesting take on the challenge. The focus is soft - thinking it is hand shake from not enough light. The window makes the background too light (blown highlights). Maybe a lower point of view would make for a more interesting composition and cut some of the glare from the window.

The color cast really detracts from this image. Using levels would help that I think. The image itself is in focus and composed in an interesting fashion.

Pretty cool, but it looks like the water is the main subject. Like the imag ethough. Maybe a slightly great DOF would improve it. POV is excellent.
