Interesting subject choice. Nice details of the statues/figurines but the image is oversharpened. Maybe a slight fill flash might have helped as the backlighting hides some of the finer details on the front and gives a feeling of being flat when we know it isn't.

Is the dartboard-like pattern supposed to be symbolic of sun rays? I would rather see the face of the pocketwatch vs the backside. Contrast seems a bit dark.

Highlights are distracting. And, although very difficult to do, I'd rather not see people in the reflection.

Cute guinea pig! Details are a bit fuzzy (no pun intended) and contrast seems a bit shallow.

Not sure if it was possible to keep the insect 100% in focus while blurring the stalk or not. I would have appreciated seeing sharper details of the wings and especially the eyes. Nice job cropping as the background has nicely muted colors and are not distracting. 7

Rainy Day Find

Nice and simple geometric designs accented by natural materials make for an interesting combination. The green leaves look almost purposefully placed but are a welcome touch as they break up the monotony of the ground pattern.

This has a photojournalistic feel to it and I like it. The noise and purposeful vignetting add to the feel and focus attention. I wish the vignetting was a bit more even, other than that, good job.

When I first saw the thumbnail for this I thought I was looking down a tunnel and boy was I wrong. The uneven lighting, I feel, is the most interesting part of this composition and how it plays with the textures of the ceiling.

Starting a New Cycle

I really like how the plant stem/stalk leads the eye to the new leaves/bud. I'm not a plant person so I have no idea what the parts are called but I do like the presentation and attention to details.

Early Morning Dew Drops

This is a nice shot! Excellent macro and DOF. I was lazy and didn't vote on all of the entries but I got close. Anyway, beautiful shade of blue and excellent detail in the drops of water. The only thing that bothers me is the reflection in the left side drop. I would have voted this an 8. Great work! BTW, which macro lens did you get?
