Excellent photo! I don't think I've seen a street photo of yours that I haven't liked a lot. It's almost as if you're always in the right place at the right time to capture the perfect moment. Along with that, your post processing is consistent and very good. Very well done.

Absolutely beautiful! I can only describe the colors as - creamy - in this wonderful composition. Well done, Roger. 

This has an ethereal quality to it that I find very attractive. Well done, Roger!

Beautiful colors and detail. Very well done!

I like this a lot. You've photographer such a precious moment in time - the loving interaction between mother and child. Nicely done!

Henk, I really like the post processing technique you've used on this image. It makes it look more like a drawing than a photograph. Beautiful work!

Wonderful detail and light. To me, the light sets a somewhat dark mood which seems appropriate for the rose that is beginning to wither and fade away. Nicely done!

Tony, this is quite nice as is. If anything, maybe see what it looks like with the flower brightened up a tiny bit as long as it doesn't introduce hot spots. The water and bubbles are perfect the way they are. Nicely done!

The colors are absolutely wonderful and the dark background makes them stand out even more. DOF is really nice as is the detail you've captured. Beautiful work!

The discoloration around the mouth and eyes really make them stand out from the white fur. The framing of the pooch is quite unique and I feel it adds positively to the overall look of he image. Nicely done!

That's quite an interesting flower and you've done well in capturing its beauty. Good focus and light and you did a wonderful job at blurring the background. Nicely done. Enjoy your new lens. I own the same one and like it a lot.

The patterns in the leaves are quite interesting as are the colors. Very nicely done!

At the f stop you're using the DOF is only 0.08" at 18 inches. By using an f stop of 6.4 you can double that depth. You'd also need a higher ISO setting to keep your exposure time low. I've just begun using a macro lens myself, and there is a bit of a learning curve. 

If you have an iPod touch or an iPad, you can download an app called SimpleDof that will show you what the DOF is for the settings and lens you're using. It's really a handy app to have.

This is an absolutely gorgeous work of art! Tones, detail, exposure, symmetry ... all top notch. Beautiful!

This is a wonderful child portrait. Very nice BW conversion.

I love the soft, faded colors in this image. Reminds me of the lazy, hazy days of summer. Nice work!

Fantastic child portrait. Well done!

Fantastic and fun filled child portrait.

Very creative and interesting.

I have to agree with A. K. This is well done and I really like the humor aspect.

Wonderful pose and composition. Nicely done!

Very beautiful, Gail. I just purchased the same macro lens you're using and can't wait to start using it for macro work. 

Very impressive work of art. Wonderful colors, textures, dof, and detail. The inner frame gives this a 3D look that I really like. The green part of the flower (stigma?) looks like it pops right out of the photo.

I really like the punched up colors of this image. It has a unique look to it. Nicely done!

The very narrow dof and lovely colors combine to make this an exceptional image.
