nice 'angle' on the challenge. no really - i like the way you've angled this pic - the middle bricks turned out like little arrows. well done.

Where The Pacific Ends

if you bump the contrast just a weeeee bit up and the lightness down a weeee bit you'll lose those little highlights on the horizon. I'd like to see it with full-on dark/light contrast between the elements. nice thought adding the benches in. Pedro

if yours is anything like mine it's getting hammered for being too literal ;). I like your shot. not to thrilled with the border, but i like the textures of the knife and orange.

i like this, though I'd have taken it from a more head-on angle...not straigt head on, but towards the front. the shallow depth works since you hit your focal point bang on.nice texture on the frog. Pedro

nice take on an odd subject. way overdone on the border. colour and depth are nice...use of neg space also nice. i have no idea what you'd do with such an object. Pedro

Sunbathing bee

damn you people who live in places warm enough to still have bugs. or did you freeze one like jacko? anyway - this is great...similar to things done by the likes of Crabappl and quadrajet very successfuly in the past (if memory serves). love the crop - seems to comply with rule of thirds (though i hate rules)...colour is inviting, and the focus is spot on. I see this doing very well this week.

Massive Nut

who you callin a massi...oh...never mind. nice pic - i like the shallow depth...makes a rather mundane subject a little obscure. minimal border is nice also. compositionally it is a bit of a stretch...i guess i'm trying to say i'd like to have a reason OTHER than a macro challenge to be looking at this...although i have yet to find it in this challenge. :) technically right on the money - great job.

you were right...it IS the colors of christmas :) i like it...one of the few true macros in the challenge. i like the contrastiness (i know, not a word). very edgy...literally - i like that. great job.
