Holding on to the Good Stuff

The DOF is amazing!!! Love the muted tones too - and the crop right at the ground so that their feet are walking the border is a very nice touch. Lighting also superb. 10

LOL - very cruel (I mean cool) idea! j/k Great title! :-)

I really like this. Great DOF on most flies and the fish. The blurriness in the very foreground is a bit distracting, but the colors and background are great. The lighting may be a tad too bright too, but I imagine the sun is quite harsh on the beach. Nice job!

Now that's what I call 'up close and personal'! Beautiful job - amazing DOF. Great shot! (Are those water droplets on his face/eyes?) Background looks a little overprocessed, but it takes a while for your eyes to stray from the bee! Very nice.

Great shot! Unique pose too. Beautiful colors & background. Highlights on the blue areas are a little strong (IMHO), but hard not to give this one a high mark. 7

One of my favorite flower shots. Beautiful colors and background. DOF is a little off (IMHO), but really a nicely composed and executed shot.

Really nice shot. Beautiful natural colors and great composition. (What is that stuff the bee has hanging from his mouth?) Nice background too. The DOF bothers me a little, but hard to take off too many points on this shot. Great job. 7

Unique and beautiful shot. Love the colors. The highlights are a little blown out and the shadows a little dark (IMHO), but I like the soft warm lighting elsewhere. Very nice composition. DOF is not as strong as it could be - still a very nice shot. 6
