Dead Ducks

I think just a tad bit more sharpening could be done with her. A sweep with the saturation brush could bring out a lot of hidden colours. If it where not for the title I would not have known they where dead. Maybe bring out the red a bit more of the blood and dull the eye a little, it is almost too bright to be a dead eye. Interesting shot though, not somthing that is seen on here much.

Wow, this is so much fun, HDR? the only thing I would say is maybe a sweep over with the sat brush to bring out a little more red, it is a really great shot. I adore how you have intrigated the two shots like that. It gives it a more powerful punch than if it was just a fire truck by its self. my son knew exactly what it was as soon as he saw it. Now he wants one. (Cheers mate!)

I am totally not trying to be mean here or anything, but this came across to me as dead. I am so sorry. The eyes just jave a dead feel about them. Again so sorry, do not mean to upset you

Frog on Tropical lily

how could this be anything other than a 10. the warmth from the stamins (sp) going into the cool purple is so eyecatching, even standing alone this lily was perfect. but then throw in a frog, who has clarity, crisp clean and so green. his little fingers holding onto the delicate petals just reek of gentleness. Well done on such an amazing capture

10. An amazing capture to say the least. Even without the title you have conveyed sadness and lost hope. That is what I am getting from the picture. The overwhelming defeat in this picture has been caught. You have done an amazing job.

This is an amazing flower, love the curls that appear on this. The bee is nice and black with a good contrast. The hot pink against the cool green works in your favour.

I would say almost that the flower is overwhelming your main subject, if you shape your left land into a L and crop the picture right up to the more whitish of the plant, you have a more dramatic main subject.

Your lines are clean and sharp, the colours are outstanding, you have managed to get a nice sharpness about all the aspects but no halos from over sharpneing, very nicely done. The title does help to determine that it is a bee, I first thought it was a fly. Doesnt matter either way, bee/fly works well.

You did a great job on this macro. 8

i gave this an 8. I liked to softness of teh curving pattern that you got in hsi fower ,whilst still keeping the background darker.

You have kept the details as sharp as possible in this, I am wondering if the angle could be a little differnt. The only reason I am saying this is the brown stalk is very much there, I am not sure if it is takign away from teh picture or not.

I am a lover of negative space, but also wondering if it was taken in just a tad bit on the left side, not much just a tad.

Overall, the pattern is soft and flowing the leading line of hte flower is great.
