Nice capture of the look in the eyes. Opportune obviously, but sharper, especially in the eyes, make this even better in my opinion. The ear, etc seems to have some 'overexposed issues', but you likely know that anyway.

Nice capture and good shot of this cactus flower.

7 - Mainly for the 'capture', including obvious 'wild' background 'view'/location, which likely meant more difficulty. Criticism; difficult with the 'opportunity' but sharper, more 'pop', etc. Perhaps a little more space 'above', for added balance, depending what you had to work with originally, of course. Up to 7 from 6, mainly for 'difficulty'.

7 - Nice capture and composition. Criticism; perhaps a tighter crop at the top to eliminate that top branch tip, not sure. Difficult, but a bit more definition/detail in the bird. Up to 7 from 6.

8 - Oh... Very nice capture. Criticism; difficult, depending what you had to work with perhaps a little more space to the left of it's tail. Even sharper, more 'pop' and a tweaking of colors slightly may have made this even better in my opinion. A little 'blown'/overexposed in areas but, not an easy shot. Up to 8 from 7.

7 - Fairly good capture of an obvious opportune moment with these two. Criticism; the obvious aside, not much.

Looks like good potential, what I can discern - if it were 640 (width in this case), make this better in my opinion.

8 - Nice color and capture. Criticism; difficult, as the 'darkness' adds to this image, but perhaps a tweaking of colors, not sure. A bit more definition (although good as is), but that may have required a different angle/perspective and this is obviously 'opportune' so who knows. Up to 8 from 7.

8 - Oh, very good capture/opportunity. The 'baby' is nice and sharp. Difficult to get 'it all' perfect in this. Criticism; mainly the composition and framing, but obviously depends what you had to work with. The colors are good, the texture in the nest that is discernible is good. To be able to get true 'stop motion' on that father(?) (and the detail on the bug(?) in it's mouth is good), is, I guess, lens/camera dependent. Just a little more context/space for this shot (again, if you had it) may have made this even better in my opinion. 640 height too, likely. Save for a different angle/perspective (retrospective obviously), not much to be done about the green behind 'father', which while makes this a more colorful shot overall, perhaps detracts slightly from the 'father' and the impact of this capture. Up to 8 from 7, mainly for 'difficulty'.

Over My Shoulder

8 - Very nice. Like the lighting. Very nice composition. Criticism; whilst I like the 'effect' of those wings in the main focus and the softness to the other areas of the cardinal, just a fraction sharper, or better, a 'wider' DOF/focal area (lens dependent/etc likely of course), more 'glint' in the eye, possibly also 640 height too and incorporating more 'context', for a little more balance within the composition, would have made this even better in my opinion, but difficult to 'get it all'. Otherwise 'as is' but trying to 'somehow' accentuate the effect of those slightly raised wings/etc, if that makes sense. Up to 8 from 7.
