Overall a nice shot and a valiant attempt but I think insect shots are a real challenge. My eyes want at least one spot on the hopper to be in sharp focus but it's just not quite there (and yet seems over sharpened in post processing - especially when looking at the hairs) and the color a little drab making this shot just feel average. Maybe cropping off an inch from the right too? Oh wait - you are from the UK - make that about 2.5 cm. Hee hee!

Gorgeous! I want to slip off my shoes and take a walk in the water. Lovely light and color - I think the bright greens just make it feel more like a painting - and the softness of the water is beautiful. Very nicely done.

This is a very cool shot. I like the perspective and it's a good idea. I think you are ripe for a painting with light challenge. Possibly would be enhanced by a little negative space at the top.

Back to bump you up. I think I went by this too fast the first time and didn't think about what you did here. Extra point for the creativity. Cool idea.

Nice ride, kid!

4.2!! Jeez!! What a rip. Granted is was not a ribbon winner from the start but your idea was good and the pic was in focus and had nice color. Therefore a score of 4.2 is just silly IMO.

Somebody buy that girl a pair of shorts! Back to bump you although it pains me. I'm setting aside my repulsion of this sort of use of the female form for an honest judgement of the merits of the photo. Excellent colors and cool lighting. The orange light/fire behind looks great. Excellent composition (except that a skirt is in order). Bumping to an 8.

This is a nice shot. I like the gray sky & water. The driftwood is cool too. Great lighting and focus. The fire contrasts the gray and green very nicely. Got a little bit of funky green skin on the hand but very cool shot. Back to bump you up to 8.

This is a very attractive simple shot. I thought I did not like candle shots until I saw this. Great use of B&W and a lovely contrast. Nice crop and negative space. Possibly could be centered but I'm not complaining...back to bump you to an 8.
