| What an amazing contrast. This really makes an impression on me, mostly because of the pure colours. |

| Wow! I love this. It's one of my favorite photographs ever. I can't understand how it only got third place. The dragonfly picture is pretty nice, as is the bee pic, but this is so much more beautiful that it's not even fair. |

Talk about composition perfection. You should add 'MOC' to your professional title. Tom Helsel, Master of Composition. Another beautiful shot for your portfolio.

| Awesome colours, great contrast. Bug almost secondary to the shot unless it was red so makes a great detail. |

Great composition. The blueness of the water really sets the flower apart and the color of the ladybug really sets itself apart from the flower. These three layers give it a great depth of field.
An incredibly beautiful shot. It would make for a great summer greeting card or a postcard. |

| I love the bright colors! I do find that glare on the beetle's crapace to be a little distracting. I wonder if you could have filtered the light somehow (tissue screen?) and still maintained those intense hues... |

| I like your idea, it is a creative take on the challenge. Good title too, I like the way the light hits the water and the delicate way the petals of the flower 'break thru the water'. |
