Very, very nice image, even with the artifacts around the heron's head. Nice colour treatment as well.

Focus seesm to be a bit off on this one. The pod stems are quite blurry.

Mt Sopris at Sundown

Comment:
When I look at this image, the first thing I see are the mountains and how they are lit. The mountains are lit by sunlight coming from the right, thus not being back-lit. The more I look at the image, the more I am thinking that you are considering the bare trees as being back-lit by the mountains. Maybe that is the case, but the over-riding elements of this image are the mountains.

Don't think this is backlit. Light seems to be coming from overhead and to the right-front quadrant of the image.

Old Truck

When looking at the sahdow cast by the truck, it looks more like top-lighting rather than back-lighting. The highlights are also blown out on the roof of the truck.

Your tower is leaning to the right. Nice vivid colours. Not too crazy about the border.

Macaw

Comment:
the colours are good but the image is quite grainy. It also has an unnatural feel as well, probably caused by the manipulation of the light during editing.

Nice shot, but the yellow feels just a little over the top for me. Excellent job of dodging/burning/draganizing.

Sangre De Cristo ( Blood of Christ )

Cool, but the red in the image at the peaks is overpowering. Too much oomph. I think it could have been toned down a bit using a mask or something.
