Thats a real "Crisp" Macro--
If you can keep this detail on say flowers or smaller still life subjects, than you will have some good shots..

Very good shot..
I agree with Rex, if she stood a bit more to your left, then the BG would have been all grass & probably woulda made a better shot, but I like this photo, nice job.

Looks like she could probably use some knee pads, elbow pads, and maybe a "behind" pad too :) She looks a little unsure of herself, but you captured the moment well. It would have been cool to get some more of her shadow in the picture too.

Cool colors. You might think about cutting off the top part of the photo (cropping) so that the blue is out of the picture. I like the textures and colors of the bike handle. It looks kind of abstract and modern.

Killer portrait.....I like the soft focus on this. Try and get rid of the sidewalk behind her and make it grass also. I am sure your mom knows how to do that but you probably know more than her so give it a try. Enjoy the membership and keep on taking photos.

Jessica, this is a beautiful picture, and I think your mom is right: You do have talent, and I think you WILL be a great photographer some day!!! I'm glad you joined the site, and I will be watching for your work. There are a few other young people on this site too, Check out "Zemm" from Australia. He is 10 and an amazing photographer -- like you :)

Congratulations on an excellent finish for a first entry! I love the way you arranged the apple and the flowers on the leaves. I like the dandelion right below the apple. The greens and red are really beautiful, they look so juicy.

I hope you make many more beautiful pictures - making pictures is just about the funnest thing to do in art.

I liked this one a lot and voted it higher than it's final score. The shiny green leaves are a cool background, a few more of them, or perhaps moving in a little closer would have eliminated the less attractive brown in the upper corners. Very colorful, saturation and sharpness are high but don't go over the line into being over-sharp or over-saturated. Keep up the good work and don't get too preoccupied with scores.
