Beautiful macro!

love the colors, and composition.. looks like it might of been hand held with all the movement/blur from the structure in the bottom of the photo. nice shot

These are SUCH unusual fruit, I never tire of seeing photos of them in all stages of growth. Well done.

This is beautiful. Very well done!
You should submit this as a Photoshop Contest Suggestion after the contest is over - It would be great fun to play with!

Wow!!!
Great capture

very nice texture u grabbed....

Nice job!

Cool photo. The sparks and silhoutte work well together.

Great, love how the sparks are sharper than anything else.

Wonderful capture, the spark trails are great!

This image would be greatly improved, if you open it in Photoshop and do an Auto Curves on it.

this one is gr8

good find..

The sun illuminating the grass really works.

Judging from the watter droplet. I don't think its upside down
The Damselflies generally have lighter color on their underside. The watter dropletts may have been reflecting the light upwards as well.
Nice shot author.

Very nice lighting from beneath. Or is this photo upside down?

wow.. good one ! we call it "needle dragonfly" here

Isn't it great that we don't all think the same, have to admit the image is growing on me, it has a very dreamy quality.

It's funny how two people can think such opposite things about a picture, before i read friiskiwi's comment I thought to myself this is beautiful, i especially love the oof grass in the foreground, to me it gives the impression that we as the viewer are getting a rare glimpse into the butterfly's world. And the overall brightness and lack of contrast give it an even more enchanting effect. Oh well to each their own I suppose.

Well done for getting the focus on it's head. Shame about the 2 blades of grass in front. I know there is nothing you can do about it, but the do distract. I would have added a little more contrast, but that's just my style.

Congrats for your second place!

Awesome shot! GL!

wow!

very pretty, there is something very appealing about this one.

Absolutely beautiful!

nice "tea"!

beautiful,bravo!

Excellent shot but so small...need to upload at least 1mB!

awesome

looks like you might have some grease spots on your lens or sensor!

Agree with Ory, but you will also need to remove the colour from the 'bubble' at the bottom of the scarf.

This is very nice, looks like it was a set up for a photography shoot other than selective red. I wonder what the original intention was? If you could lower the brightness whilst retaining the contrast you might be able to keep the nice black and whites but remove the blow out in the top right.

great shot author...very well done

Spectacular!!!

The bridge in the background is what really makes this shot! Well done! GL!

what a shot! love the city back round

Very nice scene, you were lucky to be high enough to have such a view!

Beautiful, where's this?

I like the green and the blue here, well shot.

Lovely!

Just beautiful!

Very pretty but your jpgs are too small!

gorgeous!!

BEAUTIFUL! GREAT JOB!

Well done, I know how difficult this is.

Agrees with Ory. GL!

A winner in my book,GREAT JOB!

cool eyes.

Great colors

I would darken the image just a little. maybe increase the contrast. If you adjust the image just dont lose the really cool texture of the eyes, they are awesome!
