Nice colors and focus.
The reflection in glass is simply an added bonus.

Comment by Keith Maniac:
Really well done. Great idea to slightly desaturate the flag. Also love the lighting/dodging/burning, and the textures in the wood. Excellent sharpness, too, without any signs of the dreaded oversharpening. It does look like it could be a magazine cover! Congrats on top 10.

This has a "eerie" feel to the image, and that is what I like about it. The simplicity of the composition also works well. I just like it.....

Great macro shot, nice use of frame...I like the colors in the background as they add an impressionistic flair to this image!

Comment by CEJ:
The composition and approach/perspective of this shot should have set this one apart. Very nice concept, well shot subject, colors are excellent and using the mirror was the right touch. Wish it had done better - perhaps the recent flower challenge was too soon for the shot. It is definitely well done and deserved to place better. The focus is spot on and the DoF is just right for the composition. Well done Jimmy!
