Looks frozen vs. fruit plummeting into water. I think frozen kiwi fruit! "Cool image"! ;)

Simply stunning! Nudging up one point.
The lighting is fantastic.

The Great Pyramids of Taiwan

Extra point for the title! This is perfect!
One of my favorites near the top. Best of luck to you!
Guess: Similar to a meat hammer (to soften meat), but I don't think it is. I'm guessing it's a "grippy gear thingy"!

Excellent title and image - very crisp.
One of my favorites at the top, even though the size could have been maximized just a bit more.
Well done!
Guess: Edge of a leaf of some kind, backlit.

Fantastic composition and colors! Even the grain adds to the image. Well done! One of my images at the top.
Guess: It's a succulent where the leaves overlap.

This is so cool! One of my top picks!
Guess: It's a rock crystal, like a geode, backlit and frontlit.
Bottom line - beautiful! (It inspires two valleys bordering a moutain range in my minds eye.)

This is really cool, but the image size matters a lot in a challenge! If this were a 640x640, I would have probably scored this a 7.
I'm looking forward to your next entry.

Gears in an adjustable wrench!
Well done, as I like the lighting and contrasts in this macro.

Very clever idea here! I like it. For a higher score, definetly go with the largest size allowed for the challenge. Sharpness is an issue, and this may have been due to the model moving slightly, or the focus might have been slightly farther away than the model. (Looks like the bottom of the 'wings' are in the focal plane, which I think was behind the model.) Again - very clever idea here, looking forward to seeing more!
