Beautiful capture. Love the colors and textures. You really captured an interesting event. Have to agree about the crop though - it's a bit too centered. Otherwise, good stuff!

Very nice complimentary colors/contrast and composition. You've got a great eye for that. Focus seems to be a hair off again & a bit of noise (I'm not a big fan of noise personally - some people like it). Otherwise, beautiful job.

LOL - Great capture! A little too much noise for my personal taste, but otherwise, reallly like it. May be a hair on the dark side too - might want to lighten it up a tad. Again, good catch! :-)

I like the selective desat, but think the change from B/W is a bit abrupt - you can probably transition it a little more softly with a semi-transparent brush. I'd also probably clone out the bug (ant?) on the top bloom. Love the bee on the right. Nice composition and color. Focus seems to be just a hair off. Good DOF. Overall very nice.

I have to echo Koriyama's comments - he put it very well. It's a good shot, but lacks punch. The focus does seem to be a tad off, and while I like the deep rich tones of the flower, they are too dark in the rest of the shot IMHO. These are beautifuly flowers though, and this is pretty. You may be able to lighten the background in PP.

Looks like Arnold Ziffeld (I think that was his name... On Green Acres - boy am I dating myself!)! Cute shot! I really like the composition. Well done.

I think I agree about cloning out the string and above - it's a little distracting as is. The shot's very interesting and definitely a new take on an old classic. If you do clone out the top, you may need to crop off a bit more too, to get the right balance. Nice shot.
