Measuring Shape

7 - Like the perspective. Criticism; difficult, depending what you had to work with, but that bottom left 'something' eliminated, the minor 'something' between '26 and '27' out, as well as the few 'specks' here and there too (but again minor and difficult in basic) would have made this even better in my opinion.

7 - Nice and simple. Like the colors and especially the wooden 'base'. Criticism; the line/join on the ornament is distracting and detracts (because it makes the ornament appear 'plastic' and doesn't add an overall 'quality feel' that glass, etc may have), in my opinion.

Lemon Sucker

7 - Like this. Good perspective and symmetry seems good. Criticism; not much, perhaps a tweaking of the colors to get them a little more vivid may have helped this 'pop' a little more in my opinion.

7 - Like this. Toning works well. Reflection seems good. Criticism; not much, perhaps a fraction sharper may have helped this in my opinion.

Comment:
7 - Nice. Nice bokeh/background. Criticism; difficult re the Challenge and this 'natural shape' - other than that, maybe just a crop variation mainly to exclude that 'brown' bottom left, but fairly minor.

Nice capture and 'pet candid'. Coloring is nice. Tempted to say a variation in the angle/perspective because of the 'lines' level with the nose, but I think it actually adds to this shot and 'draws the eye' to the nose more. Good fur capture, even sharper may have been even better but not sure as, works well as is in my opinion. edit:typo

Nice colors. I like the angle/composition. Perhaps a nudge rotation up on the right to 'level it out' and, depending what you had to work with, a fraction more of the 'tree element' top right incorporated, may have made this even better in my opinion.

Difficult color to capture, but this seems very close to 'true'. Nice shot and, depending what you had to work with, perhaps a rotation and re-crop (especially to try to 'eliminate' that petal upper left and the 'line' in the 'white'), likely have given this an extra edge and made it better in my opinion. Like the pollen capture.

Winter flower

Like this one too. Assuming this is hand-held, difficult, but in this, if even the snow/ice was sharper/more detail/texture, make this even better in my opinion. Your call obviously, but in this composition, perhaps a little more height, making for a more 'square framing', may have given this a little extra, not sure.

Like this. If the main focal points were even sharper, to really 'pop' (difficult), make this even better in my opinion. Maybe a slight variation in the composition/framing/crop, to gain more symmetry too, not sure. Nice and simple.
