Congrats on your top 15. I gave you an 8 and only one 8 this challenge. Only one 9 and only one 10. Your details are spot on, as are your tones and light. The hot spot on the tongue is the only neg or nit pic I can see. Other than that, an AWESOME shot. Cheers....Martin
well, i can say with confidence that this photo is a one-of-a-kind for this challenge.
i love the tones and the contrast. though the highlights are a bit blown in certain areas, it doesn't subtract from the image in my opinion.
very funny, and i hope you do well. (9)
I'm not even sure why I love this the way I do. I think it's the assumption of what the whole face looks like. Certainly, fantasic clarity of detail, love the duo tone with this image. I keep coming back to image -- the thumbnail doesn't convince me of a 9, but every time I come back to see it I think - "Oh, yeah. This is a great one!"
Wow! Outstanding detail and composition as well as a really nice job of processing. The noise on the left is a bit distracting, but takes very little away from this amazing image. Great great job!
Interesting subject matter to get close and personal to. Good to see some originality in a challenge full of flowers and bugs. Good focus and detail. A good thing for this picture, I think...LOL :-)
That's bound to be a favorite! Great expression on its face (or so we imagine), the position of the mouth led me to look back and forth around the image. Great sharpness and amazing contrast!
Very well done! Love the tight crop.
This is just FINE. What a marvellous, quirky and utterly wonderful subject matter and the unusual choice of cropping, to exclude the eyes, works unexpectedly well. Black and white perfect to focus attention of textures and details. 10! PS If I were being nitpicky I'd point out the blow out where details in the whitest white areas have been lost - teeth and top right area of frame. But I don't care, I love it anway!
I sincerely hope this shot does extremely well, although it's not technically a macro, it's an extreme close-up and the originality (not to mention interesting nature) of the subject appeal to me. Small gripe about the hotspots on the teeth but that's a very minor detraction.
Thank you for an intersting macro! Definitely haven't seen any others like this in the challenge yet :-) And, while I might not hang it on my wall, it's one of my favorites this time around. Amazing detail and clarity. The B&W really works well for this shot.
I like this shot. It has a lot of character. It's technically excellent, and the unique take on the subject make it really stand out from the herd, er, crowd. 10 from me.
Oh this is great!!!! Love the capture of the chewing. Terrific detail without being overly zoomed. Contrast is well displayed. The ring in the nose is the piece de resistance!!!
