Haha that's funny because, if I had any nominations left I would be nominating 1 and 3. I love the black background! And the blue flowers.
Dang, it almost sounds like I did something right for a change! Thanks! For 1 and 3 I wasn't actually looking for a black BG. I run my camera in all manual mode most of the time. After the 1st one exposed I saw it in the EVF and liked it enough not to delete it. One of those thankfully reoccurring times where my camera saw more beauty than I.
Thanks for that comments! I'm feeling quite big on myself now... (as if it wasn't an accident at all...)

Very cool. These Japanese parks are great places for wildlife shots. I like the dark background on the hydrangeas, especially the first one. Those little fish look pretty cool, almost transparent. The fish with the babies is pretty cool, although the picture is a little busy. Maybe a polarizing filter could have cut down on the reflections a bit?
Excellent suggestion and right on the money too! I wished I had brought one with me - I might have thought to use it.
Number 9 really stands out to me because of the colors, it's too bad he was hiding his face though.
Yeah, I'm going to have to discover Doenoe's method for training them or coaxing them into a cooperative state! It's going to be tough though having already finagled his entire post process from him.
I think these guys are actually millipedes rather than centipedes as they have two legs per body segment. Millipedes are pretty friendly by comparison, I don't think they bite like the centipedes.
I hope you're right! Then I can feel like a sissy for being scared to death of them!
Here's what I'm thinking they are when they get bigger.

I caught one of THOSE in my old house about 6 years ago.
Here's a page with all kinds on it. http://www.whatsthatbug.com/cent.html
My entomology definitely sucks though, so I'll take your word for it and be happier (and more relaxed!) because of it!
The red beetle is really cool, I like the shot with the moss because you get some green in there too.
Yeah, the overhead shot of him was me freaking out: [OMG OMG, A PRETTY BUG... My camera isn't turning on fast enough... OMG OMG...]
Thanks for taking the time on all those crits bro! Appreciated! I think the next time I go to a park with a pond I'll try and remember to bring a few polarizers with!
