7 - Good. Even though this is not as focused as I prefer, the shape of the snail is near perfect. Maybe a touch more 'contrast' in the colors would also be good, in my opinion.

8 - Very nice. Simplicity. Good capture and 'character'. For me, closer would have been better, else a tighter crop. Nice color.

Natural Eye

7 - Good. Nice lash 'capture'. For me, closer cropping/framing to really get just the lashes and iris in, would have made this better.

6 - Good concept. More detail, closer cropping, lighter color, perhaps some context, would have made this a better picture for me.

7 - Good. Nice lighting. For me, even just the top bug would have been a better picture, maybe even just for the perspective it would have given. Nice color, background and 'stem hair'.

Another Dragonfly

8 - Very good. Not just 'another dragonfly'. I for one have never seen this angle before. That transparency on what part of the wing is in focus is - exquisite. Even the 'blurred transparency' is 'unique'. Same with the 'flutter' of it on the other side. For me, 'if only' the eyes and those 'fore' legs were in 'fine focus', and a touch more on the body, this would be very near perfect for me. I do not know what that is 'up there' in the left background but it detracts, especially from the beauty of those wings. The color in them, well they look just like stained glass windows or vice versa. Great capture.

9 - Very good. Great capture and angle/'pose'. Almost perfect to me; the tips of antennae, those three legs in the foreground, if they were all fine focused and perhaps the mouth, more detail and even shine on the eyes, just might get there 'for me'. That 'helmet' close up would be superb. Really good shot.

Ignition!

7 - Good. For me, a slightly different angle, possibly giving some depth/context with the flames more discernible in the background - if possible, would make it a better photo.
