First off, sorry that this is late. Second, there are not a lot of entries, but the quality is huge!
Rodney (RollsUp): Interesting photo, I not really sure what it is, a fake or a real beast, but's done very well and has amazing colors. I like the way you composed the face, I think it's a face. It iis classically composed so the face is looking toward the rest of the space with the "ground" and the coral like object. Good stuff!
Stu (smf): Beautiful closeup of the butterfly's wing. Not only do we get to see the beautiful color and detail, but a nice bit of texture. Well done!
Tamia: I find this a fascinating photo, I've had an interest in geology since college days, learning how rocks were formed, experimenting with stream tables, and studying water erosion and sediments. This picture talks to me, and it is so crisp and clear. Well done?
Noel (noelcmn): The fly itself may be a little disgusting in person, but is is beautiful in this photo, well defined details and nice colors, I think the background and bokeh are truly outstanding. Marvelous!
JensE: I'm not a huge fan of flower pictures but thats because pics like this put mine to shame. This is excellent, with perfect focus and oof areas, we can see the great details in the flower, and the softness that works so well in a floral pic, and those water drops are just fabulous.
Architecture: Very nice composition of an ordinary steel item, I like the diagonal slant of the featured piece of hardware. You focused area is well done and the textures here are cool. Good Stuff!
David (scomatic): Excellent capture of this creepy little guy, which I only say because I don't know if it is venomous or not. Sharp and detailed, nicely done with the mottled shadows you had to work with. Marvelous!
ChristianRock: I'm even more impressed that you captured this with a kit lens, you got a lot of detail in the flowers and did a nice job balancing the exposure with such a spread of light and dark colors. Well done!
With out a large number of entries I am only picking one winner, every other photo is an honorable mention, well done all!
