The great shadows and reflections help to make this shot come alive. I could almost feel the texture on what the cat is sleeping on. Beautiful depth of field also makes it pop out of the shot. Great contrast. "10"

Rodan Sculpture

The bright blue sky really helps to frame the statue and make it stand out. Beautiful vivid shadows and bright reflections in the statue really help make it come alive. The angle that you made the shot gives it great interest and makes for a good composition.

Beautiful vivid colors in the peppers. Would like more focus on a particular pepper. The shot is great as a whole, but your eyes continuously wander around the picture looking for interest. More depth of field in the background would help. The foreground is good. The peppers there are blurred. Maybe a gausian blur would help . I believe it's a legal edit in the challenge.

Great closeup of the dog. I like how you were able to capture the texture of the snout. Very good reflections. Good depth of field keeps the composition interesting. Love the closed eye in the background. "8"

Really nice focusing to get the depth of field you got. You can almost feel the pebbles on the floor. Beautiful reflections in the glass pieces.

Butterfly

Beautiful colors of the butterfly wings help to make it stand out of the background. I can see some details in the wings. I think a stronger zoom into the wings would give a better composition.

The background works very well with the reddish nail polish. It really helps to push the brush and the nail out of the picture. Wow. I could see the layering on the nail itself. Beautiful glitter in the polish. Greeat closeup.

Beautiful image. Love the sunset with the bright sunset. Seem like the sailboat is lighting up like a candle. The silhouette adds a human factor to the shot. Reflections in the water is beautiful. "9"

Purple Pincher Crab (Coenobita clypeatus)

Cool closeup of a crab. Beautiful colors help to bring it alive. The way it's lit really makes it seem like your underwater with it.

Don't like the color of the frame. It kind of distracts from the subject.

Frosted/Cut Glass Exploration

Lighiting and shadows help to give the great shape of the spiral great interest. I think that the bottom center of the picture kind of distracts your eyes. I would be nice to just have the beautiful shape of the spiral.
