Another Dragonfly

8 - Very good. Not just 'another dragonfly'. I for one have never seen this angle before. That transparency on what part of the wing is in focus is - exquisite. Even the 'blurred transparency' is 'unique'. Same with the 'flutter' of it on the other side. For me, 'if only' the eyes and those 'fore' legs were in 'fine focus', and a touch more on the body, this would be very near perfect for me. I do not know what that is 'up there' in the left background but it detracts, especially from the beauty of those wings. The color in them, well they look just like stained glass windows or vice versa. Great capture.

9 - Very good. Great capture and angle/'pose'. Almost perfect to me; the tips of antennae, those three legs in the foreground, if they were all fine focused and perhaps the mouth, more detail and even shine on the eyes, just might get there 'for me'. That 'helmet' close up would be superb. Really good shot.

Ignition!

7 - Good. For me, a slightly different angle, possibly giving some depth/context with the flames more discernible in the background - if possible, would make it a better photo.

7 - Good. Even without the 'snout' in focus, I still think this is good, however for me, probably with it in focus, it would be 'better'.

Illusions of a Minature 1 Inch Rose

Comment:
7 - Nice. A little dark down the bottom for me, but nice and simple and the offset by the 'green' left background is also nice. Perhaps more focus on the petal edges would make it better for me, but the 'teeth' on the edge of the sepals look good with the pink behind them and you might lose that focus, not sure.

7 - Good concept. For me if it were a little 'cleaner' and in finer focus it would have been much better.

7 - This is nice, not sure how you got the sand grey or if it is natural. For me, a tad closer and finer focus on the foremost 'extensions' would have made this much better. I like the simplicity concept.

5 - I like the concept, more detail/focus and recentered for me would have been much better.
