A Magic Photo with a subtle mood portrayed by the subject, good use of appeture to take out the background...10

Hah... I was at the botanical gardens as well looking for an option for the yellow challenge. This is one I considered:



It probably would have done better then what I did enter but in the end I decided to go down the edgier side of things... ;-)

Playtime Outtake

Outtake? This should have been an entry! Pigeons usually don't let people get that close. Good sharpness and depth of field.

Great close-up of a busy bee doing what he does best..... I love the composition. I also love the delicate textures of the wings and the body of the bee.....Excellent.....A "10" from me as it deserves to be on the front page.....

Excellent colors, nice and vibrant and not too busy. I like the composition and the subject matter. Very nice macro feel. The use of natural light is good, only a few minor issues on the wings but really nothing too distracting. I think the one thing this image needs to really pop would be very sharp focus. I don't know that sharpening it more would help, but the initial focus being sharper would help give the bee even more definition and with the brilliant colors shown really make the whole image leap out at the viewer. 6

LMAO - Very cute. Nice photo - the dog seems to be in love. You might get some trouble with the "children" part in the challenge, not from me though. I like it.
