Obscure? I LOVE that song! I've been singing it for years, and they just recently started playing it on the local radio stations.

Cute bird too. Looks a little oversharpened maybe(?)

(but not a green dress, that's just cruel)

Yay! A subject that isn't as boring as the rest :)
Just a few minor technical suggestions. What's the blue line in the background? The crop seems a bit too tight on the sides... maybe leave a bit more space on the left side. Also, need more dof. It's annoying that most of the creature is blurry. Would like to see at least the front half in focus. This is a scorpion, isn't it? Doesn't look like a lobster to me *grin* Nice job coming up with something different from the majority of the boring neon light shots.

nice exposure and lighting and sepia... focus needs some work

not a bad idea but the quality is lacking.. nice lighting. a little overexposed maybe.. but the biggest problem is that it isn't clear.. low res or lower end cam maybe??

Looks like the Smoky Mountains from the Blue Ridge Parkway. I guess you guys have your own smoky mountains this time of year though. Lovely, warm colors. Great landscape crop. I'm too lazy to get up to the top of a mtn that early in the morning ;P

Gonna use this as your christmas card? It has the right colors ;P
Very nice shot. I'm so jealous. I accumulated months of stays in the cold north of Sweden when my boyfriend lived there, but I only got to see the northern lights once. It was only the green and nowhere near as beautiful. Congrats on the ribbon.

unused infinity idea? negative space? shadows? i guess it works for still life as well :) i like the color and you did a nice job getting the white background. i'd like a more dramatic shadow maybe.

helicopters! i'd love to do a shot of one of these falling against a black background.. slow shutter with a flash at the end to freeze it at the bottom of the fall. interesting texture but this looks more like a found nature shot than a traditional set up still life.might also do with a tad more contrast
