Great shot, a good portrayal of captivity! Not all zoos are bad places to be though, unfortunately there are still some that are and this gives me that feeling.

The change in the background - blue to white distracts from the image. Otherwise very good. I like the idaa.

I really like this. I like the slightly soft look and hope you don't get voted down because of it (DPC voters do seem to like ultra sharp). I think a touch more DOF to bring all the strands into focus would be better.

Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice

This is a good photo technically, although it could use just a tiny bit of contrast, but the subject matter and composition make it kindof boring. I'm not sure if you tried shooting different angles, but this one just leads my eye off the screen

Turning over a new leaf...

Hi Eli- well you wanted to know what I gave you without me seeing the shot pre-contest. I gave you a 6. I think the leaf is a wee bit hot and the macro is not completly focused to the wing tips. I know how hard these shots are and I think you did a pretty good job. Too bad you couldn't have used one of your dragonfly pics you really would have done well with one of those. (next time) I didn't even enter a pic because of how difficult a challenge it was.
