I'd have expected a lot better out of this, score wise. I gave it an 8 myself. It's intricate and vaguely mystifying. It feels like dragonfly wings, but appears to be a skeletal leaf. I enjoyed studying it, repeatedly.

Very nice choice of DOF Not your usual dragonfly shot. I like it!
Post actions
Whoa, the DOF is perfect in this shot... makes the dragonfly look engineered. Great choice making this a duotone as well.
Post actions
That is some neat detail and DOF.
Post actions
Excellent abstract work. It's all about the patterns. And the shallow DOF gives it a sense of place and even motion.
Post actions
I really love the intresting patterns all over and the color tone. To bad the DOF is this shallow as the details of the patterns are lost in a blur.

I'm hanging this in the Posthumous Fantasy Art Gallery.

Nice combination of technical savvy and artistic expression.

Another interesting dragonfly photo... You've nearly taken this into the realm of a complete abstract. I wonder if you missed your focal point or intended to do this; regardless it doesn't matter, because I like the outcome. Good job.

Hope this is doing well !!! I am going to fav this as I finish this comment.

killer use of shallow DOF
Post actions
really like the abstractness of this picture...very well done
Post actions
What wonderful detail! And the use of duotone is a brilliant touch... makes this bug shot stand out from the others... even the great ones. This is my favourite macro shot in the challenge.
Post actions
the shallow dof just doesnt do it for me in this nic e try tho
Post actions
wow, this is awesome! The subject and focus is cool in itself, but you made it so much better with the blue color

Post actions
I really like the shallow DOf, great tone too.

Very nice macro in b/w. Interesting lines, patterns, and bokeh.

Jeepers..super abstract macro. Very pretty and comp works perfect
Post actions
Wow - I am not, and I mean NOT into bugs, but this is really, really good. Love your choice of focus and of BW processing. 8
Post actions
oh, i really am a fan of this. the very shallow DOF ironically gives this tiny world the feeling of a lot of depth. the busy bokeh fits very well.
Post actions
Very interesting DOF, detail is amazing. I like the tones too.
Post actions
Love the cool duo-tones for they are very dynamic in this composition. The photo really shows off the detail in this dragonfly's wings. I really can get a nice appreciation of the lactices and delicate nature of the wings. Only plaint is that I ALMOST wish more of the wing was in sharp focus - great DOF with higher aperature and slower shutter speed would accomplish that. I say almost because I don't know how much improving the DOF would destroy the 'soft' dreamy quality of the shot - which the more I look at it, the more it grows on me.

Nature is amazing as you've shown here so well.

original and beautiful macro, only a Q: why in b/w? However i like it, good composition.
