My favorite so far! Wonderful sun, lighting, colors and idea! the only small distraction is that the sun is a bit fuzzy... (but it was probably setting fast!)
I hope you get a ribbon!

On the edge.

Nice idea! The snail looks great and I love the edge. I like how one of the antennas is out of focus and seemingly poking right at the viewer.
For me, a table with different colors (to contrast better with the snail) might have worked better?
Well done!

I like your idea! Very original. It might have worked best for me if the image was a macro as well. Perhaps you were going for contrasting takes?
The out of focus curling of the film really adds to this image! Well done!

I love the dead center face view of this frog. The colors are vibrant and there's good depth of field. The bit of glare on the left was distractring to me but I liked the neutral gradient background!
Very well done!

I See You!

What a great expression and face! In my opinion, a sharper image and a square crop centered around the face (eliminating the background) would bring even more focus to the eyes. What a cutie!

I really think you have a great idea, how cute are little baby feet. Maybe focusing on just two little baby feet playing with each other? A stronger focus, a tighter crop around just the baby's toes?... I'm not sure how to best get rid of the strong shadows under the baby's feet since I'm still learning a lot about light sources but I have found useful keeping a portable high wattage light source nearby that I can just move around to best see where the shadows and glares are...I sometimes even use multiple desk lamps...

Apple

The texture on the stem is amazing! Great composition and nice depth of field.
It feels incredibly real and touchable. In my opinion, perhaps a brighter apple color (brighter red or green) might have helped increase the overall intensity of the image. Well done.

I really like the composition and the contrast between the yellow and the black background. On my monitor, the details seem a bit overprocessed. The water drops add interesting details to the image and the half crop is nice as well!

That's bound to be a favorite! Great expression on its face (or so we imagine), the position of the mouth led me to look back and forth around the image. Great sharpness and amazing contrast!
Very well done! Love the tight crop.

Ribbit, Ribbit

What a shot. You've captured its left eye beautifully well and the skin seems so very real and touchable (the right side of its face seems a bit overprocessed but it might be my monitor) The contrast of the yellow and green works very well in and of itself. Very well done and nice depth of field!
