"Eastern Promises"

Does not come across as a macro or extreme close-up - although it is attractive. The photo is done very nicely, although I would have voted it higher if it had meet the macro/extreme close up better.

A sharper focus would have helped this capture.

Eye Of The Needle

The 'dust' particles on the needle & thread distract for me even though they add to the effect of the extreme closeup.

Perhaps a little bit too much of the subject is out of focus. Perhaps a tighter crop may have added to the composure.

This for me is one of the best photos in the challenge & I wasn't even sure what they were. I like the composure, colors textures and the way they work in harmony to guide your eye around in the photo. I also was taken by the frame and how the subjects seem to fade into the frame on bottom. The 3D effect of the frame is interesting although it makes me wonder if the frame should be flipped horizontally as the light source seems to be coming from the left of the subject. ~ 8
