With this subject, the focus would need to be razor sharp. The soft focus hurts a bit I think.

I can't figure out where people get these great looking bugs. Our bugs are such schlumps by comparison. But I digress. Nice image. Focus on the wings is great. A bit deeper DOF would have brought the body into focus which would have earned it another point from me.

Very nice. This is a soothing image with terrific composition, colors and contrast.

I like it but I would probably like it more if the background wasn't so starkly white and withut feature. It looks like it was shot with a single light over your right sholder. Perhaps a second light to the left or, left and slightly behind, would have increased visible detail on the left of the berry ... which seems to blend together a bit.

Well done. I like the diagonal comp. DOF is good but I prefer a sharper focus. Colors provide nice contrast.

Yet another bug pic. Still, this is among the top half of the genre. Focus is perfect. I like the DOF. Colors and contrast work. Great capture!

Isty Bitsy Spider....I don't thinkso.

Good image. Web is a bit distracting as are the white streaks in the background. The spider isn't really defined much by shadows. Some of the other spider pics have a great 3 dimensionality due to shadowing. Check them out and see if that would have improved this.

Nice abstract image. Way good enough to be in a stock photo collection. DOF must have been incredibly shallow. I think if the focus were sharper, especially on the left, I'd resonate with this more.

Nice image. Comp is terrific. Focus is very good. DOF interesting. Top third of the flower genre this challenge.
