Comment by Gordon:
very well executed fore/mid ground macro though the background could be hugely improved by taking some more care to present a less distracting blurred result. The brown/ white elements jar with the blue/white and brown elements in the foreground and form a distracting merger with the feelers. Could probably be made almost seamless with some movement to bring the green leaves to cover the rear of the composition and might make for a much stronger final result.

Honestly, I wasn't thrilled with this shot until I spent two days in airports seeing many similar magazines with covers similar to this one, so I've bumped your score up a notch. Still, I don't agree with your choice of focus; I'd like to see more of the piece in focus. I do like the unexpected framing, though.

A beautiful subject with wonderful colours and reflective qualities. Focus seems a little soft. Composition is reasonably interesting. 8

I really wanted to give this one a top score, but the focus kept it from getting there. Great subject and look for that mag. 8

Verry nice shot, perfect DOF. Can't say it's very creative, but it's excellently executed.
