Great detail and colors, and awesome depth of field. I was considering taking some dragonfly shots this week, but now I'm glad I didn't :)

I'm dying to know what I'm looking at... it's really intriguing. I wish it had just a _little_ more structure to it, so I could at least get my bearings.

This picture didn't strike me at first, but it's really grown on me. I wish the bee were in a different position, but can I possibly complain about that? Amazing detail, great colors. Good job.

The framing on this shot could be better -- the flowers on the right are the worst part of that. You might have also tried a faster shutter speed to get the blur out of the bee ... but then again, I'm guessing if you spent too much time messing with your settings, you'd be suing the site for your allergic reaction to a bee sting ;)

Not amazingly striking, but intriguing nonetheless. I like the patterns a lot, but I wish the image were crisper, even if just acheived by a levels adjustment.

Your choice of sepia here I think is a very bad one -- the colors are all that would make this an interesting picture. Right now, your range of tones is minimal, and that makes for a very bland picture.

This is a really amazing picture, and the only thing I'm trying to figure out if I like is the pure-white highlights in the hair. If it wasn't necessary to make your whole background white, I'd tone down the highlights in her hair just a tad. They make parts of the image seem very harsh, where the flowing hair is very smooth and calming. The shapes and colors of her hair, though, really make for an outstanding, original shot. Nice job.

I'd like to see the head of the violin (?) in the framing. I really appreciate the emotion you've captured, though.

Really awesome image, but as sick as you may be of hearing it, I'd much rather see this in color -- everything is very middle-gray in the shot, and I think that takes the excitement out.

I really like the framing of this shot, and I believe the soft blur is intentional -- but the jpeg compression is pretty noticable. I'd save this at higher quality. Good shot overall.
