The wrinkles on the background on the left hand side of photo make it less..."realistic" for me, but I like the concept and idea.

Great idea! I'm not sure about the wrinkly black bit on the left, but I like everything else.

I like the composition and idea, but the colors are a little flat. You might try changing the curves or boosting the contrast a little bit to make the shot a little bit more vivid.

Somewhat soft, but it actually works with the mood and title. 5

Very cool shot and I love the vivid colors on the wasps and comb. The tones of the background are a distraction though. Have you considered possibly desaturating the background or burning it almost out? I don't remember whether the challenge would have allowed for that, but I think it might keep the viewer's focus on the subjects. Great contrast, focus, & DOF on the subjects.

Gargoyles are gggrrrrrreat !!!

Great composition and lighting. Still trying to decide if I like the reds - I think I do. A little more contrast might help make it pop. Very cool capture though.

Love the composition and great focus. The water is a tad too blue though IMHO. I think if it were darker and blacker you could still see through it to the bottom (which is nice) and it would create a more realistic appearance. The colors on the rocks and leaves is wonderful.

I don't like all the blackness at the top of the image. Lighting not good.
