Super. I love the expression. Occasionally a perfect title will really make a photo shine; that's the case here. It appears that the lighting created a yellow cast to the photo. Normally I find this quite objectionable; but in this cas it warms the photo immensely and strengthens is much.

As photos of daylilies taken in-situ this one is a very nice example. It is helped along by the perfect DOF. Nice detail in the almost white petals. And I like the way you gave it plenty of space. (Looks like it could be Ice Carnival, and I can almost smell the perfume.)

Most ot the time one takes exception black chains running right through the middle of a subject's face, yet in this case the daring move makes the photo - possibly by drawing our attention to the expressive eye and mouth. This is a powerfully beautiful photo. I do really wish the two trees in the background somehow were not there - they really distract from that great black head of hair.

Great composition - I really love the almost mirrored effect. DOF is perfect. It's a mere quibble, but I wonder if the photo might not be a bit better without the two stray feathers at the left edge.

This was an advanced editing challenge? I wonder whether this eagle might not prefer to be depicted without the strands of slobber? Otherwise, a compelling shot.

The splash behind the airborne child does suggest unusual powers of levitation - very funny. I wish the background were less cluttered.

Nice contrasts between wavy and smooth, liquid and solid, white and black, life and lifeless. Great framing, nice and daring use of negative space.

Wow, cute subject, great expression. DOF is perfect so is lighting and focus. There's a rule about 'not chopping a person off at a joint' which I think might apply here. There's also one I heard first at this site about 'always showing the feet unless it's a head shot' In any case, the more I look at the photo, the more I miss those feet. It's a quibble, but I wonder if the photo would not be stronger with the road travelling just a tad more diagonally in he photo?
