A Cross embedded in the rock

Comment:
this is in Sedona isn't it (chapel of the holy cross)? could have used better light. the colors look very muted, and off (doesn't look like they do in person)

not sure if it was intentional, but I like the touch of the almost dead flower. nice editorial.

Ball on Square of Tile

Comment:
I like the repeated patterns in the two subjects. To tidy this up, I would have removed the mesh from the bottom right corner (assuming that's allowed in the rules!)

Newt Paste

Comment:
like the idea on this one. the newts eyes are OOF, however. could have used a little more DOF to keep the brush and his head all in focus.

Dragonfly Pearched on a Weed
by woodsey

Comment:
how are these unrelated? Don't you always see a dragonfly perched like this? technically, the background is nicely OOF. however, the insect and weed are also slightly OOF. the colors are muted. i would have liked to see more contrast and sharpness. also, remember the rule of thirds, and place that dragonfly in a location other than smack dab in the middle (lends to a boring composition). not trying to be harsh, just helpful.
