weird...they're bigger in Texas :)

I'm not picking up the emotion in this shot. the model seems stiff and isn't making eye contact. perhaps a hair light and a bigger softbox would illuminate her personality a bit.

nice shallow DOF and clarity though - hallmarks of a good macro IMO. :)

6 - Nice straight on perspective. Looks like good potential. Just the darker areas on the 'longhorn's' right side (image left) resulting in lack of detail and grain, plus the right areas of surface it is on, whilst an interesting element/texture, competing for attention in my opinion. If the quality was there, even with a modified composition, wish this had been 720. Like the use of the shallow dof and the detail discernible is good. Colors are nice. Like the centered composition. Up to 6 from 5.

Great DOF in this. It's a shame the left eye (the critter's right) blends into the colourings. Other than that, great capture

good use of shallow DOF...very sharp, and I like the muted tones...you should have utilized the full 720px allowed, though

Nice dof the way it is, but would like to see a lil more of it sharp. Great photo though!

I'm thinking perhaps a slightly larger DOF for this?

That's about as minimal on depth of field as it gets.
Kudos for getting the focus right on such an extreme close-up.
Focus rail? Tripod? Manual focus? I know it's hard at these levels.
