High-key is tricky (at least I've never gotten it right!), and here I think the problem is that the center looks like it has lots of shadows, only they are over-exposed. A good high-key shot can have dark shadows, only they can't cover significant portions of the image. Anyway, great composition, and I rather like the frame.

Excellent idea, well composed and lit. If only all four in the in-focus row were equally sharp... 7

Papilonidae

Isn't this a Danaeid? They usually appear to have 4 legs like this with one short pair tucked up tight. Also, Papilionids are sort of furry-looking. (This is Magnus' biologist houseguest writing.)

Excellent idea! Too bad about all the chromatic noise

Comment:
Great idea! Wish she wasn't slightly blurred, and the noise level is also a bit too noticable

Gorgeous texture! But a tad too contrasty, 7

Great composition, but the noise in the sky (over-sharpening?) is distracting

Willem, is that you again? I think I like this one even more then the 'Round' one. But you can't get a 10 again for the same subject, so 9.

The filter effect doesn't really the subject, besides, it looks too much like a compression artifact for my taste

Good idea, but the feather is just a little too small. 6
