Nicely done, the horizon slops a little on the right, but excellent blending.

DanLundberg makes a good point...but I like this just the way it is. Less is more in more cases than not. Great job...with a nice source find.

Blinding Colors

Fun title and colorful image (albeit mandated by the contest theme) which always grab my attention, but this may ultimately be viewed as too simplistic by the voters. Perhaps less is not always more.

Gross - it looks like the Cane toads we get (probably the same family). Are these poisonous like Cane toads? I prefer the cuter tree frogs

I am surprised this didn't do better. Lovely concept ... maybe it was too subtle. I think a lot of people don't view in Hi-res and in this picture it was very important to "see" it. Anyway it is a winner in my book!

Great concept and well done ... I found the butterfly ...it took me a little longer than greymval but not too much. I was very methodical about it and definitely has to High-high res to locate it! Lovely work! Bravo!

greymval says:

A nice idea, and about that butterfly it took me 3 sec, sorry . It's just cause it's placed in the left side and as soon as you Hi-res and scroll down you see it. It was fun nonetheless, and you made your viewers check the high resolution, which is always a good thing to do.
