Micro...phone eh? Got one of these lying around. Should dig it out and try my own hand. Love the DOF choice. My Pref: Should be neat imaged heavily to remove any grain/noise in the shadowed background and then sharpened to a hard pop. (USM and Highpass). Great crop.

Love this image. Caught my eye when looking at your profile. Would love to see a deeper saturation of colors here and a highpass. I think it would have scored much higher and should have even as it is now.

I find the foreground reeds very distracting

Nice shot. Not too well of a color match tough.

Just wondering what this is? Something for tea? I like the textures. Subtle light on the metal.

You shouldn't worry to much about the white balance in the camera. Take a gray card or a WhiBal as reference, shoot in RAW (if possible), and adjust the WB afterwards (but don't use auto WB when you do it this way). Think this macro could use a B&W conversion and a square crop.

Love the composition and detail here, really excellent. I am glad you worked out how to make the best of the colour in this :o)

Somehow this doesn't work for me, the bird on the backgound doesn't seem much like a color on color, it seems just like a natural setting...
