First submission...

...with my Pentax K10D. I like the bubbles of light in the BKGD.

Chunk, that seems to be a camera alot of people have their eye on ( or eye in already). I also like the bubbly shapes soft in the bg. The colors are good. I'm not sure this picture has enough of a definite subject to look at, but the composition is pleasingly balanced with a nice overall aesthetic.

It's all a bit surreal and I feel like I'm looking into some strange insect world. I sometimes see an actual insect lost and tangled up in the mayhem.

Great bokeh! The background is really interesting, lighting also creates some interesting colours, just not altogether sure what I am supposed to be looking at.

Thanks Gary. What I was trying to capture was the feeling of a little micro garden on top af an old tree stump.

Thanks Tom. Hope you get that seeing bugs all over thing fixed.
This was down on an insect scale so I guess it is appropriate to feel it here.

Thanks Herriot. I was trying to get a feeling of a little microgarden on top of this old stump. Hope that little shoot manages to get a little bigger this year.

nothing seems to be propely in focus.. just a technical thing but its spoils the picture somewhat.. a smaller lens opening or getting closer would have helped pull the idea off..

Chunk - I like how you shot this one from a low angle. It makes me feel like I'm a bug and this is my world. Excellant (!) I agree that there doesn't seem to be any part of the photo in focus though.. not sure if it's a camera shake thing or what. It could be that your autofocus was confused. Or maybe it was a near-sighted bug?

The composition is wild on this pic btw. I like it overall but wish the stem on the right wasnt clipped off. I think the circles in the background are creative and artsy, but I wonder if they would be good in every situation -- eg might look funny if you were shooting a corporate photo of someone (but who does that anyway?).

Have fun with the new Pentex. Haven't used one since the K-1000.

Thanks trog. Good suggestions.

Thanks GB. I'm really enjoying this camera since I've been making do with more affordable P&S's for the past few years.
