Nice landscape. Nice reflections. But too dark for my tastes.

I was very interested by your comments about the pp trying to mimic the 3-D children's books. I work on a laptop, and when I tilt the screen back (typically darkens the screen) the people and ball actually do seem to come right out of the picture. They brighten while the background darkens.

I haven't read the rest of the comments here, but I suspect your score was hurt by DNMC votes, since it is very atypical for a portrait. I think the image is very lively and a good shot.

I'd have perhaps made this a little sharper.

I'm cuddly, dang it.

Geez - no comments during voting? It really does look as if you put that guy in a light tent - trying to figure out how you got the shot while he was on the outside of the house. Anyway, all that white is effective - so many shots of buggies have a lot of distracting foliage around - nice detail in that wing.

One of my top two favorites so far. I like the glass and don't even mind the little scratches, dust, etc. For me, it adds to a feelig of the flower being trapped within. I hope this does well in the challenge for you. Good luck.

The neat part of this shot is the wonderfully posture of the bug. It has a very anthropomorphic feel.
