Nice one Irene. Love the black bg and the few ripples are the icing for me, they lead me to the coin. Congrats. :)

They're very athletic creatures. Great shot of that little rascal, according to the birds anyway. :)

Lovely dof usage here. Something I would expect to see in Nat Geo. Great tonal values throughout this image, love the bokeh, just enough to still make out the birds. Beautiful.

She definitely conveys attitude. A darker bg may have helped concentrating our eyes on hers more. I think this model would have looked better in the gangster image. ;]

Good shot and well lit but your model doesn't look like a gangster. I wouldn't be afraid of this particular gangster if I ever met her. ;] She needs to look meaner, if that's at all possible for this model.

Great and thanks for the info. I'll to give that a try some day. I can't believe how simple it is. Superb. Oh and I didn't even notice your tshirt. I don't think clothes had anything to do with it, your expression did it for me.

Cool shot. It should have scored a bit higher but that's not a surprise in our speed voting contests after the challenges have been completed. ;]

Cool. I took 250 shots of a bee exiting its hive yesterday. I had removed the hive from my shed last week and yesterday I started hearing a crackling sound behind me. To my amazement there was one little wasp in there and it was hatching. It's still in my studio here next to me, it hasn't left its hive yet. If I let it outside it'll freeze, it's like 2 degrees Celsius here. Guess he'll be my pet for now. lol

Love the colors of this wasp, very different from the one I have here. Its eyes are brown too, and textured, very nice. After the challenge send me a PM and i'll upload a pic or two if you'd like. a big fat 9 for you.

Nice shot. It probably isn't scoring well though, just a guess. Not saying it deserves not to, don't get me wrong. What's that I see in the water? Some sort of tadpole mutation or is it a reflection? Like I said, cool shot.
