Summer Nights

nice silhouetting, if not a bit on the dark side. Hard to see what action is actually going on on the dock (fishing?). With a bit of color correction, this could have easily been made to look like the moon, but the warmth of the red makes this feel like a sunset, not a night scene.

This reminds me of all those videos they used to show in high school or on PBS that showed how bugs used to get trapped in tree sap, and eventually became petrified.

Love the warm feeling that this light is giving off.

not sure I like the frontmost yellow flower, it really wants to pull my eye away from the honey server.

mmmmm........... Honey

Not a big fan of the title, feels a bit immature, which makes it a bit harder to take the shot seriously. (just my opinion, others will have theirs.)

I like the sultry use of honey, and the capture of motion. Lighting seems nice as is, but I'd be curious to see how this would look even more high-key.

some of the things I find distracting in this are the water/honey drops on the leftmost side of the breast - they remind me of sweat, which takes away the allure of the shot. In addition to that, the sharp angle of flesh under the breast (is she leaning over?) would look better (imo) if it were vertical. that little flesh bit makes me feel like the model doesn't really want the honey on her -- it just sort of removes me from the scene.

honestly, I'm being nit-picky. If the trolls don't get you, you'll do well.

good focus, exposure and lighting. I think I'd like to see this a bit more simplified somehow. I get a pretty good case of vertigo from this angle.

one of the few close up bee photos where composition seems deliberate. colors are wonderful, I like the breathing room up top, and the contrast of the bee. my only negative is that I'd like the image to be a hair sharper.

what a strange looking winged beast. huge body with tiny wings.

the image feels a bit out of focus. colors are nice, especially the translucent wings being darker.

This feels like it could use a bit more lighting to help balance the contrast. It's a bit dark on the left, and the flare on the right wall is a bit distracting.

nicely composed. the slight rotation is all it needs to make an otherwise simple shot fun to look at.

woah, is that ant blue?

DOF & Focus seem good. I'm finding it hard to look at the image though because the little flecks of red and green in the honey make me think of vomit. I won't vote you down for that, it's my own neurosis.
