Wow! Incredible

:)

Marvelous!

Wow. This is so cool! I've not seen a swan doing this before. at least not at this angle.This is great.

A dynamic attention grabber. A plethora of patterns and lines. Really is astounding how much there is to see here in this relatively simple subject.

Very nice.

Real beauty! Peteris

Great macro! What is happenning there?! Peteris

Here you go knocking on Originality's door again. The yellows and greens are gorgeous as well as their lines. Perfect DOF. The off-center bees provides more strength to the image. And whoever caught this kind of activity in such an incredible setting? Very, very fine work. Thanks for all the patience behind the eyepiece to get this image.

I've read a few of your Exif Image Details and I see you're good to shoot manual exposures. I know PhotoShop or whatever other software can do miracles, but you've gotta start with something pretty decent. My favorite part of this picture: the perfectly lit or exposed antenna.

Macro with a twist.......... (of orange). Good composition and exposure. To me, what's more appealing than the well placed butterfly is the color and texture of the neting and the orange seeming so thin - considering its diameter.

Perfect! Simply perfect! ...and of course, my favorite, the Rule of Thirds rachets this image up another ten notches. :-)

Remember what I just wrote a bit ago about originality being nearly impossible these days. Well, it's true. When I saw the thumbnail, I knew the picture would be interesting; I already liked seeing my favorite: the Rule of Thrids. But when this page downloaded, I was hit with awe.

One more time you have a perfect exposure from black to white. The well saturated, deep green with its texture and lines is powerful. The angle of the leaf - part nearly parallel with the bottom of the frame and the other rising like a hillside and the lines all leading to the upper left intersection of the Rule of Thirds all adds up to the work of master photographer. And then there are those liquid jewels generously scattered.

My friends know me to be something of a clown and that I make a lot of catchy comments about whatever is at hand and generate some laughs. But this time, my spontaneous reaction is dead serious. If you would allow me to, I would like to name this picture.

"Water Is Life"

Man, this is powerful stuff! They call ours the Blue Planet, the Blue Marble and similar names. It's great seeing a bit of blue in your water spots, created by Earth's atmosphere. I doubt in all their years, National Geographic Magazine has produced anything more powerful than this image, when it comes to foliage/flora/botany.

The ancient saying is "A picture is worth a thousand words." If I don't quit typing here, I'll soon prove the saying. :-)

Thanks for letting this (getting) old dude find so much pleasure in your work.

Good work.
