Show Me The Detail

For me this image stood out from other similar submissions in this contest. The tonal range from a dark orange to a deep olive green makes all the difference. The usual maze of veins have been given an extra dimension that gives it an edge. Beautiful, interesting study and congratulations on being in my top ten selection.

This very tactile image that has to be studied at full screen to appreciate its full beauty. The intricate eye and hair are outstanding. A very sharp image full of detail, texture and colour.This image held my attention for a long time. Well done and congratulations on being in my top ten selection

Fascinating capture of the teeth (tomia) on a Greylag goose. I was aware of the teeth surrounding the beak but was unaware that they lined the tongue as well. Nice timing and angle to show this detail to perfection. Altogether an interesting and excellent capture, well done and congratulations on being in my top ten selection

In a contest of detail it is impossible to go by this image. Using focus stacking and an ultra macro lens takes patience, knowledge and attention to detail. This is fully displayed in this finished image that makes the damselfly into a subject from another world. Outstanding work and a fully deserved number one position. Congratulations and thank you for demonstrating what is possible.

Beautifully shot image of the tree frog with its complementary green and red. What makes this image more interesting is the translucent inner eyelid covering the lower part of the eye. The eye highlights are well controlled and add that extra shape to the eye. Well done and congratulations on being in my top ten selection
