Good use of DOF and the B&W highlights the tip nicely.

This is awesome. You'll probably get dinged for not having the point in perfect focus, but who cares. I love the simplicity and the smoothness.

This image is a less than successful in an artistic sense. DOF control is excellant and the lighting isn't over done creating blooms. The subject is less than interesting. Perhaps a different background with a slightly different angle would have helped. A little more thought and better framing would have brought the rating higher.

A bit more off the bottom would get rid of that oof dark part but still not compromise the shot. Overall well done. Maybe a bit too saturated for my taste but I see it as the artists choice and not really overdone. Looks like maybe a little too sharpened though.

Nice capture of the lighting and patterns. Needs a little perspective correction, especially on the left edge.

Comment by Teafran:
The effective use of foreground to frame the image is a plus. Rich in detail with interesting changes in color and shape. A solid entry and possible top ten contender if one looks past the flatish nature of the image.
