(dont laugh too hard here)i used my macro lens only(removed the wide angle lens part) with my telephoto lens taped on backwards and camera set on macro mode.i decided to try this because i didnt feel the previous photos would be considered macro plus i didnt this it was a true macro myself. i hope i dont get too hammered for this and i also hope i get some real good constructive critiques. enjoy

I think some tweaking with brightness and colors and saturation will help this picture a lot. It's a nice idea, but the colors are dark and muted, making the picture not as interesting as it could be

Good original concept, I find the two dark bands in the middle and left are just a little too dark

Nicely done. I wish you hadn't put in the title what the subject is. It is nice to be able to keep people guessing. The picture is a little dark. I would have liked to see the colors pop out a little more. Also, i'd like to say that it is really nice to see some originality in a challenge full of bugs and flowers. Good luck :-)

Beautiful colors. Wonderful detail. Nice composition; rainbow-like. I like the highlights and shadows in this image as they break each color into hundreds of seperate colors. Well done! <9>

I like this, different! Wish the green one had shown better, it's too dark on my monitor :(

Great detail and a nice original idea! I also like the natural colors, not to over saturated. Great job!

Very nice macro. I would have used brighter colors though .... The green one and the purple one are not bright enough.

Very nice composition the only distraction is that the green isn't well lit so it makes a black hole in your wonderfully colorful shot ... very good idea.

Simple - yet I find this a pretty photo. The muted jewel tones are nicely used. The light is good and not too brash. The green is almost too dark to be seen though.
