I would have liked to see the entire ship against a backdrop.

Excellent close-up. Beautifol dof.

Ladybug, ladybug, fly away home

That ain't a ladybug imo. Whilst there are thousands of different species the long feelers give this one away. Ladybugs have short, stubby antennae with a roundish little disc at the end of them. That's an Asian bug of some kind. Here's some very good info and a field guide on ladybugs.

But a nicely captured close-up none the less :)

Really beautifully done. It looks suspiciously like H2's work. Is that you Oliver?

Interesting image and a nice first challenge entry Chris. Very effective dof.

I think this is very nicely executed. Good clarity and nice tones of yellow. Sharp detail. I like the way the water drops into the glass and how it stands out against the background. The composition is also good and fits nicely into the elongated portrait frame. I was in 2 minds about whether it would have been even better to have the entire wineglass, stem and all in the frame but I realized that the image would then have been smaller and the nice close-up detail would have been lost. So I think this is just perfect and it's a very good effort. I give it a 6.

Ja ek was ook 'n barvlieg toe ek nog in SA gewoon het en killers was ook my favorite game. Selfde probleem as jy gehad met die pyltjies. Maar ek het gevind ek moet my "indrink" tot op die regte level om goed te gooi. Klippies en coke, so 3 tot 4 doubles en alles was reg. En ek was mal oor pool ook.
