I don't care about focus. It's about the color and the feeling that this butterfly flies even if it's not flying at the moment. I like it.

Very neat - the impact on first view is quite high for me. I might agree with the others' comments about this being made better by a full depth of field. I'm not so concerned with the apparent cant (the background appearing unlevel). I think it adds a certain amount of character. This is not a landscape after all. Personally, I also think this would have benefitted from a more centered composition actually. Nicely done overall though.

This is a really nice image. I'm probably not the most-qualified to critique it, but I'll give it a whirl.

The first thing that jumps out at me is the rich contrast. Although there may be some clipping in the blacks, I think it works here against the soft white background. The sharpness is great in the center, but I would have preferred the edges be a tad sharper, but this is just personal preference. The texturing is great as well. The only other thing I would nitpick would be the image seems to tilt JUST slightly to the right.

All in all, you made an ordinary subject stand out. Great job. :)

Call the "Fun Police". This shot is WAY too much fun! ... and the technicals on it are super too!

Only thing is ... the border could be half as thick IMO.

I liked your entry alot, but I really like the toning you did on this and the other outtakes. Very rich and clean.

I really like your processing in this series, but IMNSHO I think your DOF could be deeper -- the pears go out of focus too soon toward the "back" of the shot. Great tones.
