Great colors. The red stuff looks like blood. Not sure I've ever seen something like this outdoors. Very sharp.

One of my favourite 'water drops on some sort of plant' shots in this challenge.

hmmm, not sure about this one. it looks kinda over processed to me (the selective desat, then burning,the blurred bg).

Excellent. The red veins add so much intrest to an otherwise plain image. The dark shadows bring the red out even more.

Interesting colours on the leaf, the composition is ok, not a bad shot at all.

There are just so many of these shots in this challenge; there's good stuff here - the detail and exposure of the main subject leaf is really well executed, and the sense of reflected light is strong. The de-sat of the background annoys me - just a personal thing, but it feels like being forced into the image, where it should draw me of its own merits.

This is the second time I've bumped this shot up a notch in score. Love the red in the stem & leaves. Beautiful job.

Another wet plant/flower shot. I like the colours and sharp focus at the lower left. The lighting is great.

WAY too oversaturated, and the gray background doesn't work for me.
