you are so good at this graphic look - the grasshopper, this shot, the glass, the cactus, very nice work!

Not sure this audience will ever appreciate these as much as you wish - but I'll bet you can guess an audience that I think would! :-)

Wish I saw the world more in this graphic way - sure love these kinds of shots.

He-He. This IS a cool shot, and perfect for the challenge you entered it in. I enjoyed reading the story behind the effort it took to get it. I wish more people put some background info into their submitted images (I only do it once in awhile myself).

As for the image I think the harsh lighting may have helped some in this case as it tends to really enhance contrast via shadows. Those shadows are what brings out the details in this turtle's skin. The only item that jumps out to me as a distraction is the eye...it could be the color, but it looks a little blurry to me. It should be sharp looking at other areas of the image as the eye falls into the DOF range - maybe he/she moved the eye during exposure?

Anyway...overall, nicely done, and underrated! ;^)

Love this shot! Haven't seen it when breezing through your portfolio before!

Love the texture in the green glass - I can feel it and want to touch it at the same time. The complimentary blue and brown is perfect too.

That's great work. Now go sell it! ;-)

I love these Lubbers! You seem to get great shots of them. I know, you said they were lazy once, but the effort you put into the shot is the key! Love the DoF in the shot. Bokeh is strong and helps the subject stand out. The lines on the leaf and the lubber play off each other quite well. Nice work Roxanne!

Very nice shot - DoF is good, composition is excellent, and the timing (woman's legs in the bg) is perfect for the title combination. A fun shot that is very well done!
