Clean and simple but with stunning results. The use of only 2 colours but in the negative of each other creates a powerful image that grabs attention. Top work, wonderfully exposed.
Thanks

Wow! What a menacing looking beast. The macro is so crisp and detailed you are certainly using the macro lens to the best of it's ability. I also love the level of colour saturation it is bold without being unreal.
Thanks

A great moment captured in this great macro. The bugs are nicely detailed and they are not too obscuredobscured by the foliage at the front. Excellent work.
Thanks.

Interesting shot, I love looking at macro, especially ones as crisp as this. The green mottled background is so dreamy and makes the pinecones stand out proudly.
Thanks.

Such rich colours, the red and blue contrast well. I like the title and the positioning of the bug at the edge of the frame adds to the impression of falling.
Thanks.

The Saab's are beautiful machines, sleek and deadly. Strange choice to tilt the horizon to make the plane horizontal but it certainly makes an eye catching and unique image.

I can see why it caught your eye. A wonderful splash of colour which the backlighting has made even more vibrant and saturated. Well seen.

Great image Roberto, I love the choice of the diaginal composition, so dynamic and suits the movement of this image well. I would love to see it with a longer shutter speed to turn that water into silk.
Is that a rainbow I see at the bottom.

Wonderful composition and the man looks almost 3D against the bubbling clouds. I really like how you can see the effort by the tense muscles in his forearm.

I am visiting Madeira this year and cannot wait to take some floral images. This is a beautiful calla, I really like how the light shining through shows up the texture in the petals. The dark background shows the clean white off very well.

The different levels of light shining through making parts translucent look so magical and adds to their delicate nature. I think your arrangement is very good but maybe the two on the left are a bit regimented. Great idea, well executed.

It looks like crystals hanging on a delicate necklace. Wonderful abstract and very well seen. The dark background green ensure the droplets retain all their sparkle.

Nice floral, good control over exposure not to lose detail in the white areas. I like the subtle shadow of the stamens but it is unfortunate the other flower is right behind it, as it slightly obscures it's shape.
Thanks

Tranquil landscape. The curve of the clouds seem to act as a frame within the frame and point us towards the island. Nice shot.

Excellent butterfly picture. These insects are so fleeting it is hard to capture one on film. The markings are very clear and it will be easy to identify from a book or website, try here http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~ak5t-kmn/ if you are interested.
Thanks.

A beautiful cat portrait and a very sad story. Even though she is alone she looks very comfortable and content. Great composition with her ears in each corner and I love how she is resting on her paws.

I love moonlight shots. This one looks great the range of tones is superb and the long exposure has blurred the clouds to look almost like a painting, a great effect. A magical image.

Taking the picture while the crab was in your hand has given us a great sense of scale that would easily have been lost. It does seem to not want to let go of the shell.

Great image and it was nice to read a brief history in the "About" section. This ruin has a great shape and the rough texture and outline looks great against the blue and fluffy whites of the sky. Top work!

Eerie and surreal image. It is a very good effect the contours on the bark seem to match the face, I imagine you did this on purpose but it is very clever.

Such a rich colour bought about by the strong backlight and the detail in the venation of the leaf is so interesting and complex. Excellent choice of subject.

Those fields must look stunning. Such a vast expanse of colour. Excellent choice Teunis to tilt the camera down and fill the frame with those magnificent colours ,the lines created by the rows of flowers draw in the eye.

Very cute indeed. Congrats on the level of detail, I think those water droplets look great and so does the bright yellow of the duck on that deep blue water. The ripples in the water frame the duck nicely too.
