well done, but I think it should have been in last weeks 'Extreme danger' contest. LOL

It's technically a beautiful photograph, but in my opinion you were not all that close to the ground when you took it.

beautiful, great shot, a friend of yours or did you just get lucky?

Love the vibrancy of the flower and the transparency of the wings against the dark background.

A beautiful HDR, great colours and DOF

very pretty, but the DOF is very shallow.

absolutely

A good try and nice leading lines, just a shame you weren't on the other side of the butterfly, being in the shade, you have just lost too much detail. I guess the camera was trying to expose for the light behind.

Wonderful lines and patterns, I would how ever loose the air-conditioning units at the top, they add nothing to the photo.

a beautiful garden, Just a little dull, the light not the garden. You can't do much about the weather, but I would try making it a little lighter and add a little contrast.

I like this photo, but something isn't quite right, I think the bridge is too centred. Horizon is also slightly crocked.
I would try cropping it, Perhaps just below the middle chimney and most of the house on the right, just leave a slight bit of the house.
Only a suggestion.

Good leading lines, love the couple sitting at the edge.

A good attempt, but the OOF log in the bottom right corner is distracting, You can crop quite a bit off the bottom, and right side, leaving the stump in the background in the photo, a little off the left. This will follow the rule of thirds.

great find

Great colour and detail despite the fact that it's a little soft.

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.

Green butterflies are lovely, you can see one here;

Thanks, it's beautiful.

that is tiny, well caught.

I kind of agree with Mossy, but I do love having the two butterflies in the one photo, it makes it a very pretty photo.

fair call,

great

nicely done

elegant

Lovely light and bokeh

Are we seeing a shadow of the knife or it's silhouette through the cloth?

Did you have your ear on the rail, to listen for trains? Nice photo.

Well done, nice DOF

sweet, children's hands are so lovely.

great in High res

Great, the High res is a must.

Love the contrasting colours.

Lovely photograph of a fruit market, but the people are really lost, and they should be the main subject for this contest.

Nicely done, looks expensive.

well done, but not sure if selective desaturation is the best choice.

Not quite 'the yellow brick road', nice photograph.

well done, a little reflector to throw some light into the hand would have made it even better.

Nice drop, shame it's not quite sharp, can you re-shoot?

great

So many crazy people LOL, nice catch.

nice

well done.

is this a shop window?

nice

a little dark

nice, shame about the movement blur.

Nice, could use a little white balance adjustment.

Love the way you have managed to block out any reflections in her face.

Great shot, what an interesting butterfly.

would love to see a High Res
