Oh what strange looking fellas they are, very vibrant, they look a bit lively too, were there many of them there?

Oh my goodness, you always manage to get such wonderful sublime colour and texture in to your shots and this is no exception.

Beautifully composed as ever.

This is lovely and crisp, personally I would have liked to see the focal plane ever so slightly back a bit this would have put the whole of the Bee in focus rather than half the flower and half the Bee which kind of has my eye darting around a little rather than just settling on the Bee. Still a very nice shot though and the colour of the flower is wonderful.

I find this really interesting actually, love the way you have contrasting lines from the sequins and the rows of wool plus the folds in the garments themselves. Plus kudos for lining all the sequins up to marry pretty nicely from one garment to the next, very well done!

That is very, very nice, beautifully saturated, amazingly sharp and some colours to die for. The only thing I wonder is if it could do with being a tad brighter

Shell of a Snail

It's certainly an interesting shot, what I like the most is that the dots look like they are on a different plane to the shell (almost floating). Makes a lovely abstract image IMO

Oh lovely shot!

I do agree with MattO though, just a shade more towards the front on the focus would have been awesome.

Very interesting setting.

Hornet in Hiding

I think it's a good shot, but not a good subject for shallow DOF because of the nature of this shot you were always going to be minimising your impact, the fact that the flower has become your main element is I believe the reason you scored quite low.

Still an interesting shot though and it certainly looks like he is about to jump out from his hiding place :)

This shot for me has some really interesting DOF going on, love the detail on the right hand berry end and the greens are just beautifully saturated.

Lovely coluors and DOF, shame about that little distraction bottom right but even so this image is very nice on the eye.
