Bugs. C&C.

#1, The bee and his killer:

#2, The butterfly who loved me:

#3, See:

My own C&C-

#1- I wish it was clearer that it was a dead bee...really.

#2- I like this image. I was wearing an Argentina jersey so the whites are blown out.

#3- Same as above.

C&C per req: I agree with your own comments. If you'd not told me what #1 was, I would probably not have guessed. #s 2 & 3 would be much better with a tight crop on the butterfly.

You think so? I'd rather the shots be more than just a picture of a butterfly.

EDIT- Here's a tighter crop of the third one, but not too tight:

The problem with #3 is that the picture really doesn't have any subject. Sure, you've got a nice looking butterfly, but he's lost between the three large, non-descript regions of brown, orange, and blue-and-white stripes. You need to either make the butterfly the obvious center of attention (hence the advice to crop in on him) or come up with something else worth looking at that the butterfly can serve as an accent to.

#2 is my favourite by far, but the white on the right side is kind of annoying and I don't think it's very croppable. If only you'd worn a different shirt!

I know! I'm not a super proficient editor, I wonder if someone that's talented could do something with it? Any of y'all are more than welcome to see what you can do.

#1.......never would of been able to make out what that picture was w/ out help. Closer is better n this case....
#2 the butterfly in black & white is beautiful.....wish it was a tighter crop
#3 Subject is too small.....All I can think about is how the orange shorts don't go w/ that shirt....
