Love the subject, but it's just a wee bit dark. Also like you were in a hurry, or the wind was blowing, as it's a little blurry.

Almost looks more like an etching rather than a photo.

Very nice, but a little dark

Nice, but you might want to tone down the greens a bit

Lovely, but you may want to do some work on the white balance.

fantastic colors, very beautiful, bravo

How come the "dew" doesn't cover everything?

Beautiful. Fresh flower's petals bathed in water

Hey that's a maple - hello Canadian - nice colour - nice pic

My front yard is covered in these - YAY - Nice shot

WATER DROPLETS!!!!!!!!!

just a little faster shutter speed would have been nice

The Canon T2i has a color oversaturation of about 111%, which can give you 'comic book' colors on Auto Mode. You will have to switch to a mode where you can make 'Picture Style' adjustments, and reduce your saturation slightly (-1 should bring to very close to a more natural color saturation). I believe you will find the information on or about Pg 92-94 of your user manual.

That's one of the joys of modern cameras, they allow for pretty easy 'point and shoot' capabilities, but have some very powerful tools built in to let you tweak the settings for even better photos.

Also, the Photography Contest rules DO allow you to make saturation adjustments with Photoshop so long as your adjustment (saturation) is applied to the entire image, and not just a portion of it (selective editing).

Hope this helps you, some!

lovely

What model camera are you using? Some oversaturate the colors on Auto...

Excellent focus and color. I'm not a fan of wasps, but I am a fan of this photo! Great job!

beautiful

I'm not saying you did anything wrong as far as the rules are concerned.

Nice, but the butterfly is a bit OOF

Very nice. Might just brighten it a touch

Very nice, but a bit oversaturated

Over processed, IMO

nice catch

Looks like a cute dog, but it's a bit OOF

This seems too incomplete with the top cut off. It's hard to appreciate it as a sculpture since the eye cannot envision it as a whole. It just looks like a portion of a log with some cuts made to it.

rather strange colour?

Its really nice author. Good work

fine colours, fine photo, bravo

The colors seem odd, the bird appears slightly purple under its wing, and the overall tone seems a bit too saturated.

nice. Might increase brightness just a touch
