Honeybee #31 by ryzst

Lightpainter: Terrific macro shot. I agree with Nikoneer. There are great scenes everywhere. If a viewer cannot see them, the problem is with the viewer.

ryzst: Thank you both. I really appreciate that.

Shooting small, random events like this is why I enjoy macrophotography.

4th place
Ladybug by Eubeen

gizmo1: How do you possible know that this is a lady bug lol.Nice capture and very fitting background using your lamp to help him warm up.Love the colours and light coming of the ladybirds back too.

palral: First of all, I love the composition and perspective. Most people would have rotated the shot to get the bug "right side up" whatever that would have been. I mentioned your photographer's eye before, and you "done good" with it this time. Just think what you could be doing with two eyes.

A little short on the depth of field, but the majority of the little beetle is well focused although I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's sharply focused. Nice use of lighting, but I'm sorry to hear that you tossed her out into the cold where she was immediately eaten by a hungry bat.

10 on the composition and perspective. 6 on the focus. 8 on the colors. All and all, a 7.5-7.785.

5th place
