WOW - you've got some great insect shots. The focus seems just a hair off here - not quite tack sharp - but otherwise a beautiful capture with strong composition and color.

Beautiful capture. Classic shot - and done well. I didn't vote in this challenge, but it would have scored a 7-8 from me. Well done.

Very nice shot with lovely tones and dramatic impact. Seems from your (limited) shots here on DPC, that you're a fan of sky shots. You do them well. I very much look forward to seeing more of your work!!!

Very cool photo. I actually like the unusual border/framing you've used here - it adds to the overall impact on the viewer.

Good capture. A little on the dark side, but overall great clarity and just the right amount of motion blur. These little suckers are fast, aren't they?!?

Very funny capture. I like the composition (although the background is a tad on the busy side - I know that couldn't be helped, but you might consider some PP to make some minor adjustments). Look at all of that "spit" in the camel's mouth. Have you ever been spit on by a camel or llama? Speaking from personal experience - it's just nasty! ROFL Great capture.

This is such a great memorial to shoot. Looks like you got some GREAT sky to compliment this unusual perspective. Well done.

9... Definitely one of your best. Love the motion in the clouds and the POV. Expertly executed and presented.
