Very cool...the very top is OOF, 2nd layer down is in focus and the background is OOF...makes for a very unique shot!! And again...the color is just awesome!

Love the distinct clarity of the center and the muted/blurred background using the outside of the flower. Excellent macro composition. The colors in this really pop too!!

You know how much I love the reptiles!! Great job keeping the detail in the scales. I know how tough that can be with me photographing my snakes all the time. What a funky color he is..I am used to seeing green water dragons all the time...he blends into that rock quite well.

Absolutely AWESOME photo.

The warm colours work against the razor sharp edges perfectly and the title is so PERFECT for this image that I want to cry.

... a 10.1 !

Crazy little critter! Does he change colour? The blending into the rocks is great. You've got good sharpness and detail across his body, too.

If it were a challenge shot then the one nitpick would be the cropping of the end of the tail, otherwise I think you'd be looking at a good 8 or more from me in a free study, especially with the arrangement of colours.

Lovely fluffy texture on the clouds. I think you could almost crop the red bit and have a great abstract shot.

It's clever because the subject is not something you'd normally stop to actually take any notice of. Well-captured motion I think. Did you use a tripod? I wonder how you managed to get the shot without any people in it, your airport must be empty!
