Wow, i'm surprised this is a sub-5 image. This is quite the step up from your last beach glass photo. Must be that fancy lighting. Pretty pieces! I like how the blue border ties it all together.

This doesn't quite hit the mark for me. The composition is a little dull - the pieces of glass neither form a strong pattern, nor are random, and for my tastes their is a little too much negative space to the bottom of the frame.

I like this version as well, the green background bokeh works well for negative space.

I love plant shots! I really like the green background bokeh, very graceful, it feels like a painting. I have always been a fan of your work!

Oh, are these those ocean glass shots we saw a while back. These are pretty cool! Good lighting to bring out the detail, but soft enough that the details aren't overwhelming. This is making me want to go around and do some more walkabout shots.

I have a shot just like this one! I think you captured the fuzzy texture of the dandelion very well. Excellent DOF and focues. I really like the composition as well. Well done!

Now this a cool shot. Did you use a strobe light? Excellent way of thinking a little out of the box to get a different feel for motion blur. It works well because instead of seeing one sharp dice with a big blur, you manage to capture the dice in several positions which give it more of a realistic motion sequence the eye can follow. I maybe would have used a little bit stronger light source to create more contrast between the white and black, I think the lower light brings out a bit of that low blue chromanance noise which gives it that grain. But really, I kind of like it that way. Nicely done!
