Eye Eye!

I agree with all the comments bleow.
Just a suggestion: You were focusing on the reflections in the eye. If you try again, don't get distracted and attrackted by them. Try to focus a level behind the reflections on the miniature structure IN the eye. If you look closely the bluesih structures are soft. I tried it and failed 99% of the time doing the same thing you did. But the one time you get it right, is spectacular.

02 - Mushrooms

Comment:
great detail and DOF. THe lighting is a little harsh on the top of the mushrooms. But then again they might be just as white as they apear here. Again may be it's the contrast between the mushrooms and the background but I see some halos around the edges. might be the contrast might be the sharpening, no idea.

Not sure what I think about that.
It is a very busy object with high contrast to begin with.
You isolated the imtersting parts well. Did you think of arranging the plain of focus diagonally not almost parallel to the border?
And thanks for your comment on the alien boobies :)
I have to admit this was my first thought when I saw them:)
For them I made an exception in my theme: no bugs or flowers in the side challenge. I'm glad I am not the only one seeing them.

I like the watm tones in you pictures. THe composition is good. Your choice of focus is unusal but fits great. My first imprseeion regarding the straws in the foreground: why did you leave them in - but then they grew on me. They add to the surrounding.
