Just a 6? I'm surprised! Excellent capture.

This is the most interesting flower I've ever seen. The bug on the top makes it!

Now that's one unusual, vivid and, to be honest, rather ugly flower! I have never seen anything like it before and that is always a bonus - I love the way voting on DPC opens us up to new things. one point, technically, there seems to be some banding in the sky, which you may want to rectify if you ever print this photo.

Steve - I was one of the 'not prominent enough crowd'. It is important to note that I love the subject, and thought the shot was good enough to give it a 7.

But...and now you can become annoyed with me if you choose....I immediately saw a different crop if it was my shot. Using the great blue light on the welder's shoulders to frame the top of the image and centering the 'face' and the gold sparks.

Something like this...

Feel free to Grog me if you must....

This was my favorite in this challenge and only one of the two 10's I gave out. Great work, should have done much better.

Not by a long shot. Her bug shots are still WAY better than any of mine.
