The water droplets look neat, but I would prefer a greater depth of field

I just love these! great colors and lighting is perfect. only nit pick here is the tiny grass( i think thats what it is) needs to have the healing brush used to remove them from the flower petals. this one is going straight to my favs :o)

I Love the dof here but the composition for this needs to fall in the rule of thirds(IMHO). great shot of the ladybug and the glow adds a mystical feel to this. good job and plan to watch your work closer in the future.gone to check your portfolio now :o)

Comment by cpanaioti:
Composition: The mixture of light and dark work well due to the placement of the individual pieces of bark however the brightest piece is a little too central. It may have worked better if that piece were on more of an angle. Also, the DOF seems a bit too shallow as some parts of the bark are out of focus. This may only be a distraction due to its position in the composition. 6

Exposure: Ok though the lighting is very harsh making it difficult to get a balance between the highlights and shadows. 5

Impact: Impact is lost due to the harsh lighting. More subtle lighting that enhances the detail I think would have worked better. 5

Overall: 5
