A stumper, so meets the challenge. I like the subtle 3D feeling with the reds and darks seeming to come forward and the yellows and whites receeding. Your focus and DOF enhance this. I'm not resonating with the subject that much, however.

A stylish lampshade. Or a volcano. But if the latter were a macro, you would not have returned from the trip.

Definitely is something burning. Maybe a super macro of burning wood. I really have no idea. Cool colors though. :)

This looks like a backlit banana peel or piece of bread. I don't know. It just looks yummy somehow.

Nice and bright. Very abstract, no idea what it is. Bread maybe with the colours altered? Maybe some sort of plant life (leaf, flower).
