Oh WOW! I must admit that I've been tiring of the flower and bug shots, but this one REALLY caught my attention. It is wonderfully done, not to mention interesting. The red is so intense. I assume you desaturated the colors except for the red channels. It really works here. I love the detail. Excellent work 10+ My favorite for the week.

Great shot! Love the wings, and the way the red complements the red in the flower. I'd have liked just a little more dof. Petals are very effective. 9

I like the negative space. Interesting shot to look at and technically perfect. Good luck!

Great shot. Absolutely perfect. This should do really well unless other people are voting you down for not fitting the challenge perfectly. I'm a golfer myself and this makes me smile thinking about all the times I had to wait to tee off because of morning fog. :)
