You have made the denim look like you could reach out and touch it, I can almost feel the texture. Well done.

Compositionally, I like this shot. The different circular elements set up a nice balance and contrast. Also, I like the tight crop in this.

The lighting on this is really good. It emphasizes the shapes and textures nicely. Also, I like the basic bw on this.

I think if focus had been a bit stronger, at any point in the photograph, the shot itself would have been more effective. While I don't think EVERYTHING needs to be in focus, it would help if something was clearly in focus. It does appear that the far right of the element on the right is more in focus than the rest, but it is difficult to tell.

Nice approach to the challenge, and the lighting in this (again) is really good.

Great lines on this image. Can't say that I would have noticed the fingernails as the belly button serves as a great focal point Excellent capture.

Very nice macro shot here. Looks like you could have placed the focus point a little better, but this is still a fine image.

This is a brilliant photo. Excellent from the comp, to the lighting and detail. Well captured to say the least.

I really love this idea - especially with the bokeh background. My preference is to see the leaf pop out from the background more. Maybe some boost in contrast? Right now, the color seems as muted as the background so it all kind of blends together.

I still have my 1964 Schwin String-Ray bike with the original banana seat and Slik tire. Thanks for reminding me. Nice shot too.

Not a very interesting picture, cropping it would have been better.
