Nature at it's best. I like the framing. It's well balanced. The colors all seem to have about the same saturation value and run together a bit deemphasizing the subject. Centered comp detracts a bit.

The only major thing I would question about this is the 'macro'-ness. Otherwise, I love the focus and the way it seems your looking through a natural window. Great depth.

Oooh, this is nice. I like the hot color tones reflected in the metal rim. The DOF is fabulous. This piccy is awesome! Only, I see some spots and specks about a third of the way up from the bottom of the picture. Since the advanced editing rules are in effect for this challenge, I would defeinitely have cloned out those defects, because the rest of the image is so smooth and perfect. Probably I would also have used less JPEG compression, this is only ~50KB, you have ~150KB, make use of it. One point off for slight JPEG artifacts, one point off for spots. 8.

Cute. Great use of depth of field. I would probably crop just a tiny bit from the top, feels more balanced to me.

Very well done, much better than the other one here in this challenge with the same motive, top 20 IMO.

Depending on how big they were, they might have been husband and wife. Males tend to be MUCH smaller then the females.
