Diva - M09-b

Yeah, it's probably a better crop, but I think the other one has more funk, in particular because of that shadow to the right and below the flower - it sort of gives the circle a lot of volume. You lost the shadow in this crop. You got the extra stem, great addition. I wonder - have you tried the first one with a bit more space to the left (like the extra space you included in this one, but all the way to the bottom of the circle?). I'm just wondering how that would look. Love how the stem goes all googly on you in this second crop.

Beautiful macro, beautiful colours! The composition is very good. I really like the very delicate out of focus circles on the stitching (or threads) right next to the red/black fabric. I think this is your best one yet!

What? No cactus today? I love how shiny the silver parts look, and I also like the reflections on the side (underside) of the screw (bolt?) like thing to the left. Red/silver/black - such a beautiful colour combination.

Day 8 - Pendant

He, he, if you wouldn't have said it was a pendant, I would have never guessed. This is another good example of how macros can completely take away the sense of size. Love the tones.

Gina, I like this one. The perspective is beautiful, I like it how your eyes can go wander off into the distance right through the rings. You're doing great with that Optio.

Same here! That's a big bokeh. What's the plural of bokeh? You could call this "Diva".

You're a brave person for getting this close to the rooster. He looks somewhere between apprehensive and ready to charge. Good closeup.
