Those first two shots - the backlit hairs - are really cool, Igor. I have not used any stacked DOF software on these shots. The insect shots are hand held with the camera on just a monopod - between my motion and the movement of the bugs, I don't think that I could get enough shots to stack.

I'm guessing that each image now lives or dies on the submitter's votes. It would seem that if it were still the case that the Pentax Team had the final say, the rejection rate would be up and the nature of the accepted images would be different. Partially due to the submitters's rejected image
