7 - Like the processing on this, just wish a fraction off on the left for added balance, but your call of course. Surprising how the grey frame works.

Funny. Wish I could discern more of his eyes and feathers.

He's watching you. Nice image, wonder about a little less at the bottom. Like the feathers in the water.

Dinner Time at the Old Oak Tree

Good capture - seems natural, which of course takes the capture to a whole different level. Wish there was as much clarity on the face and eyes as appears to be on the fore talon, but of course difficult. Overall there appears a dark 'haze' on this image, but that could be intentional. Not sure on your framing, don't think it enhances the image as is, in my opinion.

Your call of course, but given the lighting in this image and the fact that the bird on the right has some slight blur (seemingly), perhaps cropping out all the right side to allow the left one to dominate... or it may just be that the boat competes too much in this image - the birds seem in the darker area of the image, if that makes sense.

DANCE ACROSS the EMERALD CANVAS

The colors are beautiful, but there appears to be a touch too much contrast/something on the duck, making the details become lost.

8 - Very nice. Beautiful colors and elements. 'If only' a fraction more light on the bird, but still works well as is.
