This took me back to when I was a kid trick or treating. Liked the composition.

Lighting is too harsh and the bottle looks tilted. Did you use a diffuser to soften the lighting? Anything will do like tracing paper, thin white cloth or even paper towels. Use tape or a rubber band to fasten it to your strobe and bingo, instant soft lighting. :)

6 for effort and creativity.

Great concept and brilliant results. The border is a little too much for my tastes.

Most original and well shot images of the challenge. Wish my imagination was as free as yours. The border also works well with the colors. Did you stuff all the orange peels into the funnel and drop 3 or were those also suspended somehow. My pick for blue. Only one small minute improvement could have been to clone out the drip on the largest "falling" orange. 10

Awesome use of that lens! Where are you finding butterflies this time of year? And this is another 6 just to show September wasn't a freak month at all - you're still racking them up!

i like the energy of the shot - but the background seems a bit blown out especially at the top of the image

Beautiful macro Wendy !!! It has been a while ,since I have photographed a nice butterfly. Your shot is a reminder to me to go shoot butterflies. Just one feedback , the angle you shot at is great , but you need a little more DOF (F16 or higher) to get the wings in sharp focus.
