I love the orange cap echoing the orange beaks :-))) Really cute shot. Not screaming "diagonal" at me.

Butterfly

Interesting lighting and lines. Might like more detail on the butterfly to seperate it from its shadow better but that looks like a very tricky exposure.

Nice capture; wish the dragonfly was totally in focus and the right-side wings were stretched out, but he probably wouldn't hold still for a retake.

Diagonal perspective seems too artificial and doesn't enhance my appreciation of the scene.

Seems a bit bright but the composition is nice.

Not doing a lot for me; maybe if the skylight were cleaner for more of a contrast in textures.

Diagonal composition feels forced; maybe a perspective from a corner looking up onto the board? Lighting is a bit harsh, background not adding to the image.

Might be worth bumping up the contrast a little to bring out the shadows/highlights even more.

Hope you kept the bee for next week's challenge ;-) Good detail; almost looks like the bee is disintegrating before my eyes. A few extra spots on the background near the flower are distracting.

If I had entered this one I might well have done a rabbit, too :-) Those ears are perfect for a diagonal image and the mixed-up ear look is precious. Good detail, clean pic, like the crop and/or rotation to get the ear and head on a perfect diagonal in the frame. The shadow is a bit harsh and the background lighting doesn't follow the diagonal.
