#9,10 and 12 are my favorites
#1 is example of how single detail kills the whole picture. But the spoon is out of focus (looks like lenss with non-flat plane was used) and second, spoon itself doesn't match the rest of picture. Just replace the spoon for more fancy one and picture will shine!

Surprisingly low number of pictures to select from, despite pretty obvious and interesting theme... Most of them are about "pattern" rather than "symmetry".
So, my choice was simple -
#6 is one of few others following the theme, also has very good quality
#20 is from "pattern", but anyway very well done
#12 is also very interesting...

Voted for #3 - very string composition, the next one would be #1. Other pictures are fine but not distinctive enough...

I bought a Vivitar 100/3.5 macro lens on eBay. It looks very clean outside, but when I look through the wide open lens pointed slightly aside of bright light source (lamp) I can see some kind of dirt. Here is picture I took from the front of the lens http://azemerov.fotopic.net/p42052672.html
It looks like this problem is located somwhere inside of the rear lens group. On picture some lines looks like cracks, but in real they aren't - it looks like somebody cleaned lens with dirty rag. Also you can see central spot about 1/2 of diameter - it looks like group of tiny bubbles inside the slightly dimmed glass.
I have no problem with return this lens back, but just for curiosity - what is wrong with this lens? Is it fungus? Or may be two glued lens elements were separated and re-attached again? Does anybody have any clue?
