| I'd have expected a lot better out of this, score wise. I gave it an 8 myself. It's intricate and vaguely mystifying. It feels like dragonfly wings, but appears to be a skeletal leaf. I enjoyed studying it, repeatedly. |

| Whoa, the DOF is perfect in this shot... makes the dragonfly look engineered. Great choice making this a duotone as well. |

| Excellent abstract work. It's all about the patterns. And the shallow DOF gives it a sense of place and even motion. |

| I really love the intresting patterns all over and the color tone. To bad the DOF is this shallow as the details of the patterns are lost in a blur. |

| Another interesting dragonfly photo... You've nearly taken this into the realm of a complete abstract. I wonder if you missed your focal point or intended to do this; regardless it doesn't matter, because I like the outcome. Good job. |

| What wonderful detail! And the use of duotone is a brilliant touch... makes this bug shot stand out from the others... even the great ones. This is my favourite macro shot in the challenge. |

| oh, i really am a fan of this. the very shallow DOF ironically gives this tiny world the feeling of a lot of depth. the busy bokeh fits very well. |

| Love the cool duo-tones for they are very dynamic in this composition. The photo really shows off the detail in this dragonfly's wings. I really can get a nice appreciation of the lactices and delicate nature of the wings. Only plaint is that I ALMOST wish more of the wing was in sharp focus - great DOF with higher aperature and slower shutter speed would accomplish that. I say almost because I don't know how much improving the DOF would destroy the 'soft' dreamy quality of the shot - which the more I look at it, the more it grows on me. |
