Dragon Fly

Lovely composition with your fly perched along the top thirds line. You caught some nice details wish it were sharper.

Nice colors and good use of leading lines and depth of focus. Wish your beetle were sharper.

Come Into My Parlour

Nice catch - pun intended. Wish more of the spider were in focus. Might crop differently more a sense of motion, or crop closer to get rid of that gray space.

Old flowering cherry leaf. after the rain

Comment:
Some lovely detail and rich colors here. I like the triangle of mossy tree trunk that anchors it in the upper corner. The glossy glareon the red portions of the leaf detract from the image - bright spots that draws the eye away from the nice details.

Watch
by p2jvr

Comment:
There is a nice balance to your composition without the picture feeling too contrived. The lighting is so even it is hard to distinguish between all the details in the watch. The lighting from above makes some reflections in the glass which are confusing. Lighting from a low angle might create some nice shadows. Wish it were sharper.

Pitch Roll and Yaw with a Serious Attitude

Comment:
I like the angle of the wings and the angle of the barbed wire - both seems to have attitude as your title implies. It is a nice composition. I like the narrow deapth of focus. I wish the dragon fly and the wire were sharper.

Cobwebs and Currants
by puzzled

Comment:
Nice alliterative title. I like how the cobwebs mirror the lines of the veins in the currents. I would like to see a clearer composition. The currents fall out of the frame on 3 sides with no clear reason for cropping them there. Perhaps framing the three berries most in focus (by rule of three?) and using a smaller depth of focus to sift the other berries away from out attention you'd get a more concentrated composition?

Sun Burst!

Comment:
The pollen catched the light and creates some brilliant highlights - which everything else were a bit brighter. I like the striationd og yellow and red. An interesting layering of things in focus and out of focus - at different depths it seems - makes it abstact. Wish it were not cropped so close on the bottom - would prefer the center of the flower to be more balanced in the corner.

Prismatic

Comment:
The reflection on the CD makes a nice backdrop for the bead. You've got some nice details on the bead, but it is not an inherently detailed object. Perhaps more than one bead, or a more intracate bead would work better.

This was one of the two 10s I gave out in this challenge - a very inviting, refreshing picture aside from being technically fabulous. It makes me smile. Thought for sure it would place higher!
