Landing Stage

I think this pic needs some more context in order to become truly effective. Are we looking at an abandoned dock? Show where it connects to land so we really get a sense of what was lost, what was abandoned.

I like the composition/framing of this, and the dof works VERY well.

The bokeh and colors on this are just wonderful. This already reminds me of something Ursula would do, and I think if the colors popped a tad more it be even better.

It is a bit busy in the background and bright enough that it takes away from the main subject. As an entry in the 'Upside Down' challenge I felt it met the challenge just fine. I gave it a 5...kind of it's "ok", not bad or anything, just not a "wow" moment either.

As a Macro shot for the side challenge, I'd like it to be tighter and more personal with the subject. That spider looks to have a lot of detail that would really stand out if it could be seen better.

All JMO of course. :-)

I always like spiders (on a photo, not in the house). I agree with your own about the busy background. It takes a lot of attention from the spider Perhaps a BW conversion? But then of course you would miss the colors.

another great spider image that bombed out .. like i said to bobonacus, you take a risk entering bugs coz some ppl just dont appreciate them and their vote reflects it .. great colours in the background .. love the web so clear and your spider is excellent .. :)

This reminds me that macros don't have to be flowers or bugs. Good job on the exposure and focus.

That's an awesome reflection of the umbrella, too bad the lens got in the way. I wonder how it would look with a tad cropped off the top?
