Nice colors, focus and texture. Interesting perspective in a challenge full of simular shots.

8 - Again, another photo good enough that it doesn't matter if it has a title or not. For me though, a slightly different angle (to the left where the focal point is sharpest) would make this a much better photograph. More detail on those drops on the stamen would be nice. The stigma is out of focus, so perhaps crop that out, as the 'mushroom' like 'anthers' do look good. A fraction more focus on those main points perhaps. The shadow of the stamens is nice and again, if the picture were 'nudged' to the right a fraction, they would be the 'stars' of this picture. Very nice though and good colors.

I think this is the best stamen shot in the challenge. It's crisp and the detail is wonderful. The coloration is very well done - great shadowing to the left. Love the water droplets. 9

There are too many leaves obstructing the bird. Otherwise it's an interesting bird taken in good focus.

I know these kind of shots are hard, but the leaves are really distracting, sorry

Nice shot. You might try a tighter crop, the leaves on the right tend to take a little away from the main subject

great focus in tough conditions. the leaves, though a good idea for a frame, are just too close to the head.

the foreground leaves might be a tad too distracting.
