I agree with what someone else said - I would have captured more of the statue. I love how it appears as tho it is looking at you. Very cool.

Dew Drops on Tulip

Hi Jon. I gave this a 6. I liked the macro but I felt the red overwhelmed the picture. I've been trying to take tulip pics lately and have found it's a PITA to do. So I cannot suggest any ways to do this differently lol.

Grrr I meant to comment on this one during the challenge. I thought this was excellent. I love the black and white tones and the contrast and focus on that main petal. The bokeh is quite wonderful too.

Starting off with a well balanced breakfast

Dave, excellent catch. Great detail and focus on the butterfly. Does it have blue on it as well? I bet it's beautiful to see in person too. Hope you enjoyed your breakfast after this! :D

If you had bug butt in this photo, it would have scored WAY HIGHER hehe. Now that I've really had a chance to think about this, I think the only thing I would have done different is crop off the top to get rid of the red. The red in the right corner isn't in a good spot to add to the photo. The leaf you have focused on looks wonderful and I'm thinking the red detracted from that.

But bug butt would have fixed all these issues :D

I stared at this for a bit during the challenge and all I could think was "aye, I wish I was young again." Damn them flexible kids! :) But then I was also thinking how it's a shame that they make young girls dress these days for performance routines. This applies all the way up thru college. Guess I'm old fashioned. Interesting piece!

Ahhhh I was gonna come back and comment on this too. Beautiful! Wonderful perspective and gorgeous reflection. Looks like a place that must be seen. 8th place in FS eh? Ok so how about no more complaining about how your work is not reaching the masses lol. I think you reached them on the grand stage with this challenge. Congrats on the top 10!
