Soaring Gull

The composition is very nice. I think the gull is probably a little too out of focus. Hope this feedback is helpful :)

Tulips in Love

The subject is very nice. The photo appears off on white balance. Was that a white background? If so, using levels or curves in PS would correct that. This comment is meant to be helpful, and it comes from someone who's never ribboned :) So take it or leave it!

First Taste of Gardening - Literally

I thought I'd make a couple of observations in hopes that it would be helpful for future competitions. One disclaimer: I've never ribboned myself! So, take it or leave it! :) Cute subject, by the way! There's a little too much light on the little fellow -- the highlights are blown out on his hair. The background is too distracting. It makes it look more like a snapshot than a stock photo. Cropping a little more off the top and setting his head on the rule of thirds in the upper right corner may have helped the composition if there had been a better background.

Very good on many levels. My only suggestion for improvement is that the black appears a little gray and somewhat noisy. Of course, I've never won a ribbon -- so what do I know! :) BOL 8

I love the composition. And I'm a sucker for any cat. The only think I think that could have improved this photo was a little more light in the lion's eyes. 8

What a beauty! The only room for improvement I see is to include the tail! 8
