you got the depth of field and exposure perfect which can difficult in bright sunlight, wish it wasn't cropped quite so close on the right side

Wonderful picture, best use of selective desaturization that I've seen!

From this view it's very hard to tell what this is. The title and long long look told me this is a sword and helmet. Yes, meets the challenge but still will need composition. Good luck.

While I find the overall shot nice and the feeling of a snowflake comes across, I think that the uneven lighting and 'shadow' area in the center distract from the overall pleasing mood this image should have. I like your contrast and composition and the greens are nice and subtle. Your sharpening may be just a bit much by looking at the edge of the petals.

Overall nice capture... the bug is a nice touch too :-)

Great to see the bug in this - I like a subtle detail that rewards the second glance. Looks like the focus is good except for one spot near upper left. Nice composition.

Love the colors in this one. Maybe a little better lighting in the center would make this a great picture. (I won't say anything about the bug who keeps drawing my attention to the right if you don't)

I think this one is brilliant. You did something unusual with such a common theme. The colors are so rich, they look like silk and honey. The dark background is well suited for this macro.
