Nice pic, nice tatoo... The robe, and lighting really make this picture. I could see this as framed on a wall. Very mysterious and interesting... 9

Seems too dark. Perhaps a different lighting angle and brighter would work better. 3

Image is on the dark side, and perhaps a bit soft on focus as well. Good composition and your are on the right track here.

Too Close For Comfort

Thank you all for your comments on this pic. Both the camera and I survived. Though it did get pretty warm pretty quick. This was a one shot take. After the first one, I thought better of giving it a second try.

Grains of Salt

Good depth of field for such high magnification. Lighting is reasonalbe for the subject. However, picture is a bit dark over all. Perhaps some work in a photo editing program to lighten it up, or a different surface, or colored surface to add some life to the picture. It tends to come across as a random jumble of crystals on a dark grey surface. Has potential to be much more. You are on the right track with good instincts. Going with a 6 here.

Bee on Flower

Looks like your camera focused on the closer flower bud (see bud at lower right) leaving the bee out of focus. Love the colors. 7

I really like this. Must be hungry. A bit over exposed maybe. But with a darker cookie, this could make a great poster.

Flours Are SO Cliché!

Not sure what this is, though that doesn't matter for scoring. It's obviously a flower, just not sure made of what. (Half the fun is figuring it out.) Great detail, I like the lighting, because it emphasizes the texture. Petals are a tiny bit distracting cut off, but not a real big deal. 7
