3rd place
Honeybee #31 by ryzst

ryzst: Thank you both. I really appreciate that.

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

Marzena: Faved & saved, but, alas, I have neither patience nor skills even to try to follow...
Thanks for the beauty [and instruction].

4th place
Ladybug by Eubeen

auroraobers: I like this photo. Good luck in the contest.

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
Passionate Purple Tulips by CDHale

ryzst: Congratulations for doing so well in the contest. It took all of my pocket change to bribe my way to 3rd place, so coming by your placement honestly was a great feat. And a lovely work it is too, very reminiscent of the French Masters in their Photoshop Period.
