Rosehip jellyfish

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

These were taken with D300 and Sigma 150mm macro lens.
I thought this rosehip jellyfish was interesting.

Pretty pleased about this rose image as well.

Lol... and I was wondering why I had never heard of a rosehip jellyfish! :?

the second is my pic too.. you can almost smell these the detail is so good... I would have liked to have seen maybe a few extra mm's to the left hand side of the frame though... :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Great images, both of them. They have lovely colours and sharpness. I guess the first one stands out because it is so unusual. I though they were tomatoes with legs! :oops:

Thanks for the comments.

The 2nd is not cropped, so unfortunately there's nothing on the left to add back in if you know what I mean. I could try a bit of cloning, but it would be challenging to construct the rose in lower left hand corner. I'll see what I can do with it though.

Tomatoes with legs. I didn't think of that. They just looked like some sort of jelly fish to me.
