Cool image. Normally i don't find titles all that important but this one is very suitable and it made me laugh. A bit sorry about the lighting of the background, notably the white area, but i'm sure it was difficult to control. Really a good catch. 9 Journey

Strictly from an artistic point of view, i would rate this image as one of the three best in this challenge. It has great impact on me. It's so Zen-like. Technically very good, too. Like the B&W and the toning and my eye gets a thrill out of the white wavy line. 10 Journey

Great action shot. I always get a big kick out of watching the mannerism of Canadian geese and you captured it well. Good colors and light, lovely dof. 9 Journey

Fine portrait. Imho, the image would be stronger if you edit out the bar behind him. Would have liked to see a tad more definition in some of the browns. 9 Journey

She sure is pretty. So is this picture. Nice composition at colors. There is another picture of the same bird that i also rated high. Was interesting to note that they resulted in quite different images :) Shooting as a team? 10 Journey

Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow! THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY. I'm not going to waste timewriting down all the things that are so superb with this image because you already know it more than i do. I keep on looking and looking at this image and i just don't know what i like the most: the exquisite details in the bee's wings or that you lovely, lovely impressionistic flower center on the left. Oh, this is great! Sorry for being such a twit about it but this really has tremendous impact on me. Colors are great, too. Velvia? :) I recognize lots of technical mastery here and also some darn fine equipment as well. Love the artisticity of this shot. 10+ Journey

Lovely image. My only nitpick is the other yellow flower at the top right. Thanks to good dof it is blurred significantly, yet it grabs too much of my attention because of its warm color. That takes some attention away from the main action. 9 Journey
