Best capture of a flying insect in the challenge. Looks like he has a pretty good buzz going and it is not even Friday night. Nice shot.

A beautiful image and great color composition. The soft streaky green background to the left and upper right corner of the frame directs the eye to your subject.

Nice capture.

Everyone is clamoring to know, so I will just go ahead and ask up front for all of us: Did you have to use special high speed flash units to capture stop action on this subject as it was speeding by?

Pictures like this are facinating to me. The entire frame is the focal point of this image.

The detail of the leaf is amazing and the water droplets make this an eye pleasing spectacle.

Congratulations on a great shot.

Fascinating and technically exceptional. You have to admire a photographer as creative as this one. I tip my hat off to you.

You have turned an ordinary pine cone into a photographic superstar.

It takes a great sense for beauty and a keen photographic eye to do that.

The subtle greens and blue in this image are eye pleasing but the bright yellow/green pine cone is absolutely spectacular.

Kudos to you.

One of my favorites this challenge.

Wonderful beetle macro. Focus is just right for the subject and wonderfully composed.

You might want to suggest "get a room" to these two. :)

Excellant insect image. Well composed with good clarity. You subject is deserving of a much prettier landing pad.

One of the best the week.

It is superior in numerous ways. Composition and cropping of the image is perfect. The flower complements your subject by adding color and interest to the image. It supports your subject both literally and photographically. The position, lighting and angle of the camera gives the monarch a majestic quality.

Professional in every aspect.

The soft lavender flower background gives this image a stunning effect. Very well done.
