A bee. See?

Great use of negative space. I find the overexposed leaf on the bottom, as well as the leaf poking in at the top distracting. I probably would prefer a black border too.

Raring to FLY OFF!

This is one of those shots I've always wanted to take but never found the chance to do. You've pulled it off wonderfully with the sun centered right behing the top of the stem. Great job.

A bit bright... it looks like you might have lost some of the details in the stained glass. I like the lines that the benches create in the foreground.

The shot is a bit busy, with the lights, reflections and numerous objects here. Perhaps just choosing a few objects and setting them up in a pleasing arrangment would have worked better?

Can't Sleep

Interesting idea and angle. Looks like you captured some good expressions and actions here with good focus and clarity, but the photo is too small to really tell. Try using the maximum width or height allowed next time so we can see more of the shot.

The Lookout

A bit overexposed with the sky, and I might not have positioned the building quite in the middle, but perhaps a bit to the side more. Neat structure with all the colored stones that works well against the simple sky.

Nice framing, but instead of just being backlit this has turned into a silhouette. The 2 red dots at the top of the monument are kind of creepy too :P

Some people complain about the overuse of pet shots, but I love cat shots. This cat is a perfect subject on the white background, and what a fun and whimsical scarf collar, that just screams "burst of color!" It looks a tad over saturated with the ears, eyes and nose, but it's just so cute that it still gets a 10! One of my favorites from the challenge. Well done!

We all get tired of the same flower shots, but this one stands out to me and seems unique. The use of primary colors, angled flower, shiny vase, and great use of the shallow dof all help to make this shot work really well. One of my top picks for this challenge. Well done!

I like the "inverse" thinking with the b/w bird and colorful background. Colors in the back look a bit unreal, but the fact that they pop so much works for this shot. Focus is great... love the feather detail, spots and tree bark. One of my top picks for this challenge. Well done!
