65 Jun 19 Comment Wonderful subject with an equally effective presentation. Nicely see and well captured. I especially am impressed at thought and effort used to capture the image. Using a light table and augmenting the bulb with the halo speaks volumes to your thought and capture of your vision. Your images seem to improve each month Jun 24th
65 Jun 19 Comment This is great use of macro Photography to show us a new side of common things, and you did it exceptionally well here. I don't disagree with any of the previous comments in their praise. I especially am enjoying your use of reflections here.

If this were my image I might be tempted to include a bit more of the upper part of the image, so that the lower screws have a bit more space at the top. As it is, it looks and feels a bit cramped (to my eye). I also would have removed the screws at either side (either in setting up the composition or in prost processing), so that there were no screws partially shown at the edges. Expanding the canvas / image at the sides with empty (no screws but just the table edge) would also achieve this effect.

65 Jun 19 Comment So often when focus stacking is employed, the result is that everything is in focus, and while that works in many cases, that is not always the case. I here I am enjoy your selective application of the plane of focus to aid in your story. Leaving some of the compass and map blurry and a bit of mystery to the image and to idea of traveling to the unknown (or am I reading too much into the thought).

One subtle point that was well done is that the compass needle is pointing to an open portion of the map, and not to the compass stem. The needle represents an implied direction or flow, and you have left some open space in this direction. If you had not, the image might have appeared a bit cramped (weird how our mind thinks). Nicely thought out and executed.

65 Jun 19 Comment Great shot. Capturing these critter in flight is no easy thing, and you did a wonderful job here. I agree with the comment that letting the wings blur while sharply capturing the rest of the bee represents a good compromise, for the reasons noted. I like how you left a bit of the flower in the lower left corner, giving us some idea where the bee had come from , and might be tempted to include a bit more to flesh out the story a bit more. What was the background? Whatever it is it adds a level of interest all in-itself without distracting us from the main subject. Jun 14th
