Love the composition and DOF! The magenta clashes with the red of the ladybug and pulls my eye besides, so I'd shift the magenta into the purple range till it faded into the rest of the background. Still, my favorite shot in this challenge.

Neat shot. Focus is pretty good and you've managed to seperate yourself from some of the other photos.

A very creative look at colored pencils - the image meets the subject matter and with a witty attitude. A terrific demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge. Should be a sure bet to win a ribbon or place high as a top twenty image. A couple of minor detail problems not worth mentioning because they don't appear until you really get a critical eye and examine the image closely. Well done.

FANTASTIC background, really interesting bug addition to an otherwise well-executed photo.
