Exquisite bee picture - the reflections on his wings are especially nice - great contrast of textures, soft flower petals, fuzzy bee, shiny wings. perfect DOF

Nice idea--I had the same one myself but fortunately for both of us I didn't enter or we'd both be dinged for dups. I was trying to take the CD in a portable player though, and I couldn't get the reflection right when it was in the player. Very nice job here!

This is just my opinion, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think this would have been much better without the lit ground so prominent... Had you been able to isolate just the tree being lit with the black background (from a much lower perspective for instance), I feel this would have been much stronger. Of course it would be a completely different shot, and not what you were going for... So, pay no attention to me :)

there are a few spooky photos on here and this one is very nice...this may be neat with a scary leg stepping into the shot from the shadows...

I can't say this is one of my favorites. I am not sure why.. perhaps it doesn't hold my interest, I am not sure i see anything sharp.. what am i to look at. If the image was of fall colors of the tree, perhaps a closer shot of the tree or some leaves might be good... or a tighter crop. Perhaps it would be interesting if the shot was taken from farther back, where the street light (?) is in the center with the black of the night around it and the tree.

Hmmm, ...lots of folks didn't like the composition, the heavy left side, or the tight cropping. I thought all three really worked for this photo. Perhaps it was the title that brought the whole thing together for me and gave the photo context. The inclusion of the mouth, but not the face, I though captured the essence of voice. We know our radio voices, but we don't ever see the faces or meet the people. Also the blackness on the right side called to mind the announcer's words going off into the void. He's there, he's working it, but he never really knows for sure who, if anyone, is listening. Well done.

I originally didn't like this photo the first time I saw it, I just kind of passed it by and didn't rate it.. Then about 10 minutes later I was just craving to see it again. I figured any photo that got into my head like that was doing something right. I still don't know that I "like" it, but something about it makes me want to see it.. you got my 10..

Nice photo, but there is nothing here to capture the imagination.

I thought for a few minutes there that I might make top 10. :) I appreciate all the great comments this round out. I really enjoy the DPC process. No matter where I place, it's a rewarding experience. Thanks for everyone's support.
