Good eye, DOF and well lit, I know spider webs are hard to capture nicely. And I like that you found some interest in a seemingly arbitrary thing.

Love this, and thanks for all the info! You absolutely MUST try this with a nice contrasty B&W as well! Think it'd be awesome.

Great moment - sports photography must be a real challenge- never tried it! Well done for the front page, and the important thing is that you're keeping up with the challenge! I'm sure we're all going to have our dud weeks when it's hard to get something- and if this is yours then you're in great shape:)
Think it could've done with a bit more brightness/contrast to make it more punchy?

Thanks for the info, nice to know about! I like the colours and how incredibly clear this pic is, and also the intriguing perspective. 10-22- is that a serious wide angle lens? (newby shows her ignorance again...)

Nice timing to get the mouth open! I like the repeated yellow tones in the leaves highlighting the bill. What's in his mouth?

Nice textures and processing. Bugs me a little that the focal point is in the middle and not at the bottom of the clump, don't know why.

I like the combination here- a few separate elements that on their own would make for quite normal shots, and managed to capture them together into a magical moment in time. Nicely done.
