Pollinating solitary bee on thyme plant

Re: Phone Camera Competition May 2020: Superpowers
 

Very good ideas for proposed superpowers from everyone!

#1 Wikiwide - Pro¹ camera obscura, "The green Ray"
- The upsidedownness of the picture is a fitting idea, since it is from "down under" :) Sun has superpowers enough, as it powers just about everything that happens on earth. Very nice colours, good contrast in the edges of the clouds.

#2 mosen - Pro¹ (rotated and cropped by 40%), "Pollinating solitary bee on thyme plant"
- Bees are cute and important! Very good and crisp shot on a busy bee doing its stuff but it would have needed even closer crop. As the picture is sharp enough I would have cut to just the bee filling about 80% of the frame from top to bottom. As it happens now, there are too much of thyme and not enough of the bee.

#3 juiceme - XperiaX/ Piggz Advanced Camera, cropping and levels in Gimp, "Adder in grass"
- The head is not sharp enough to my taste; the focal plane is just front of the nose :( I had several shots of the viper from up-to-downwards position which were sharper but I wanted something which was taken down on her level. Too bad there was so much grass leaves standing there which I think blew the focus. It was laso difficult capture because I had to do it one-handed.

#4 Fellfrosch - Pro¹, "Didn't drop nuffin'"
- Sharp and nice capture, the golden and black colours of the simians contrast nicely. The highlights are burnt thru which is a bit disappointing.

#5 eson - Xperia X, Sailfish stock photo app, "Potato Wonderland"
- Well sprouting potatoes there. My own are still growing underground, I am expecting to see tha first sprouts next week. Very balanced colours, good overall sharpness.

#6 nonsuch - (N900?), "Superpowered flower"
- I am not sure where the flower disappeared, cannot find the picture?

#7 john_god - ?, "Jumpy snail"
- I would have wanted to see this in a bit higher resolution. Idea is good and the colour and texture of the snail are nice.

#8 Maemish - N900, "Tuulispää can fly again"
- The dressed-up bike is a real stunner, and should be pictured in a better location! This leaves no question what the superpowers are :D As it is now, the car on the background is distracting.

My vote this month goes to #2, mosen.

I finally understood what the "Unofficial Storage for camera phone competition" is there for...

BTW, I had a facepalm moment yesterday - I did take a proper superpower picture in May!

Nice shot.
But I guess this would have belonged more into the March competition? :D

Re: Phone Camera Competition May 2020: Superpowers
 

Am I too late to vote? Cause it would be #3 juiceme with the heroic power of photographing a snake within arm's reach while simultaneously holding the dog's leash!

Totally lost track of time -- does it have meaning?

Re: Phone Camera Competition May 2020: Superpowers
 

^ That was juiceme's superpower!
