I love the lighting on the snow on the trees here. I like the composition but wish more of the trees at the bottom were included.

Snowball Eater...

Beautiful dog and good action shot. I think you might consider cropping this to put the person and dog closer to bottom left (leaving some margin). Keeping the dog and the snow path on the diagonal of course! Good exposure as well for this scene with such bright lighting and so much white snow and a white/yellow dog!

Windows

I love the golden tones you have here. The windows have interesting detail as well. But the complex pattern and intricate work is spoiled a bit (for me anyway) by the choice of an integrated framing technique. Not necessary here! Let the picture speak for itself.

San Francisco's Golden Gate

Colors are beautiful, cloud detail very good. My only negative is that there's not much else to look at; that is, the river looks nice, but is so small at this distance and angle, the bottom third is basically black, and the top third is dark enough to not have much to contribute. You might think about alternative crops to bring us closer to the river.

Great capture and use of DOF. Incredible detail in the droplet reflection! This deserves to do well even if we are getting tired of droplet photos!

Great expression and composition. Just a tad more light/detail in the eyes might help it take some ribbons.

You've done a great job capturing the soft textures of the birds feathers as well as a sharp beak and eyes. I don't know the birds colors; it seems a little limited in color range, but that might be the scene.

Dock in the Bay

Beautiful colors, and I like the slight wide angle perspective the lens gives the sky. Only little nit would be a bit more detail in the foreground; there's basically (on my monitor) all black in the lower left corner and that detracts slightly IMHO. Still a good chance for a ribbon here! Good luck.

Excellent work. My top pick!

Excellent capture, and the shallow depth of field here works to bring out the front rider (of these two anyway). Of course, it would be better without the peple standing behind, but there's little you could do here. Maybe at least crop the very top, where the fellows hand is, that' being lighter it stands out.
