The Bass Player

This is just wonderful, and it's a bit shocking to see such a good entry that placed well that has so few comments. The lighting is remarkable considering what you were working with. The composition is just terrific and the overall feeling is one of quiet solitude. Makes me think of the bass player sitting alone in the dark picking off some melancholy tune. The lower hand is a bit hot, and that kind of counters the mood to me a bit. I imagine that's a matter of figuring out new ways to control your creative lighting. Keep at it!

Very nice. I love the coloring. I especially like how his little fist is up in front of him, such dignity in a squirrel. He could be puss-in-boots of the squirrels. Great bokeh too!

Coming from the "Want Comments" thread. You have great focus on the bee! I would like hte flower petals to be in focus as well, or at least the ones in the front. I was using IE to toy with the composition a bit and I found it more interesting with the tips of the petals on the top and left cropped off to give a less centered appearance. All a matter of preferences.
