I almost stepped on this little guy slithering across my front step. I have been out of the challenges lately, despite the fact that I have my brand new camera. Rule of thirds came to mind. I found this red ball in my shed and the rest is what you see. A simple shot but I love the details.
Hope this does well

Camera Work/Technical: Excellent. Your focus is super-crisp, your depth of field is perfect for this image and your colors really snap.
Lighting: Also near flawless. There are no blown highlights or detail lost in unnecessary shadows. Very nicely lit.
Composition/Content: I think I might have opened up the bottom just a bit to get that shell on the top rule of thirds intersection. Other than that, I cannot find anything to be picky about.
My Opinion: Fine job meeting the challenge and a fine score to match. Strong work!
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,

Nice macro, a bit too bright for my taste though, would have appealed more to me a third or even half a stop darker as the colors would have been stronger and the glare on the shell and the pink thing.
