Wow! That's an amazing perspective. I love that you captured the eggs in there and great detail in her eye. You must have been fairly close to her, so I'm curious how you got this without upsetting the wasp?

LOL! Most offensive DPC image ever (not that I've looked for any others). So, with all of the posthumous type awards out there, perhaps you could start awarding this ribbon to your choice of most DNMC for challenges. It would be a true honor to get this along with a brown in one fell swoop. :P

Excellent Photo Domino post with this one! I love the false perspective you created with the lighting. I really thought it was just a strange looking staircase from the thumb. Very fun shot.

Congratulations on the 5th place. This was my top pick, particularly since you were one of the few who actually met the challenge and did it in such an affective and beautiful way.

-AAaarrrggggghhhhh!!! Congratulations on the 4th place & new PB with such an excellent shot and especially for actually meeting such a difficult challenge.

Very interesting perspective on this cute guy. The misc. hairs on the nose and around it are a little distracting to me & I might have pulled those off for the shot. Good detail on the nose and the lighting works. The composition is alright, but I might have played with angles to get more of the nose in the frame and just a little lower just to be picky. Cute shot overall.

ETA: By the way, I really loved your entry for the bummer challenge. That was quite a catch and I don't understand how it ended up below 6.

I really love this series of shots. In particular, you are getting such amazingly clean detail. I do prefer the higher key of your previous chain and the lighting seems like it was more difficult to control on this one. It's still very effective and the water drops add a nice character the the texture.

Sad about the frost, but great detail and color in this one and I like the way you divided the frame in the composition.

Wow roz! I wish I had some constructive criticism, but it all looks fantastic to me. Love the composition, the background highlights the fly perfectly, you nailed the focus and got some great detail (the blobs at the head are a little odd looking). Nice work.

The extreme aperture give you great DOF but it also reveals some serious sensor dust too. The lighting could use some evening out but there's some great detail to enjoy in your shot.
