Nice clean shot with good composition, color, and focus. Not exactly what I would eat for breakfast.

What a wonderful subject, too bad it isn't wider so that it covered the whole frame. Good job on exposure and great DOF. I think it would be betterthough if the small stones were removed from the foreground (nitpick), but it does work. It might also have worked using the 640x427 aspect ratio and set it up framing as a portrait.

Cleaver title and very creative piece. Technically very good also, the composition, lighting, and focus are right on. Good job.

Damn Reflection...

Really cool amphibian. Man, that eye would have been killer without the reflection. A little PhotoShop on this and you could hang it almost anywhere... well, maybe not next to the family portraits ;-) Great shot!

Very interesting DOF trick. I like it, quite unusual, but for a purpose.

This is one of the better shots of this type that I've seen, very good. My only nitpick would be to remove the dead stem at the right. Good job.

Good find on this subject! Good compositoin though I think just a tad tight. Nice crisp focus and lighting that complements the subject. My only minor nitpick would be to get rid of the background distraction in the upper left (or minimize it with background blur or such a high f/stop and shutter speed that it becomes near black).

The feature is a nice touch. Good job on composition and exposure. I do however think it might benifit from just a bit of unsharp mask.

The composition and lighting on this is incredible. I'm sure it will do very well in this challenge. Except for the background distractions at the bottom I think it is perfect.
