Good find. Thanks for sharing, I am smiling now.
Too bad you didn't have this shot for the "Pollution" challenge.

Day 13 - Beads

I'm not sure what to say about this shot. I don't have the skills to suggest how to get the best of this subject. It's interesting that the sunset looks almost like flesh tones in the background.

Going to a black tie event!

Sweet! This little guy would have made a great subject for the B&W in Color challenge.

I like the high key(s) lighting in this shot. The sky and water look a lot like they do from a boat. You captured the smoothness of the water and landscape of the Keys in this shot.

After I get past my first thoughts about how much machining it must take to make one of these auger bits, I see the spiral as the main attraction. I think that I would have moved in closer, and left out the point end, to just have the spiral across the frame. This would be a good subject for a fisheye shot. Thanks for the idea!

The colors and point of view make this a nice view of a small item. Good find, and well captured. I like the green leaves being with the flower too, to give it some sense of environment and that it is a whole live plant.

Day 12

I didn't recognize this at first, and I should have because I work with wire a lot. That looks like big wire, maybe 3-0 or MCM 250.
I don't know what to say about the HDR, as there is no original to compare it with. The end result seems a little bright, but the fine texture in the surfaces of the individual strands came out nice. Good subject. It has interesting textures. The one little piece of lint at the bottom keeps me coming back to it for some reason. I think it is partly because it is so different, and oriented differently to the general lines in that area. Good HDR alignment for a manual bracket too.

Good detail and even lighting in this shot. It looks like it is lying on a slide viewing light table. Do I see your yellow shirt reflected in the threads? The lock washer adds some interest due to its different curved shape.

Rope

I like the way you used DOF and positioned the subject so that it isolates the one strand from the rest of the rope in the BG. The strong light makes the texture stand out nicely, and the curve helps with interest.

Day 11: Bananas

I can see that you had to shoot relatively wide aperture due to the available light. That is a good abstract pattern in the central focused area.
