What a brilliant looking bird and a bold color scheme he(?) has.

Come on...those little ones came from her? As usual, really like your tones and processing and the softness works well with this image. Obviously nice moment captured, including her eye contact. Like how the processing highlights her (presume it is a her...) 'curls' and fur... and that little aloft paw. I wonder about it a little 'brighter', but the subtleness works well and I'm sure this is your preferred 'luminance level' anyway.

Really like the clarity and 'depth' captured in this image, as well as the colors and composition.

Beautiful colors and clarity. I didn't get to this one during voting.

A Cold Seat on a Grey Winter's Day

1 - Interesting view, perspective and capture. Alas my interpretation is 'capture the color grey' so this dnmc for me. Like to see this in 'another Challenge', especially a little sharper and being able to discern more detail in the icicles and shards.

Hollywood Smile...any guesses?

1 - Unusual image, much tighter crop to see the detail in the drops .. or the glass.. whatever it is, make a unique image. Alas I am looking for 'color grey'.

7 - Nice detail, especially on the eye. 'If only' a little more fore focus, but difficult.

The Gift

5 - Good capture. That's quite a gift. The recipient even looks taken aback by the generosity. 'If only' a little sharper and, wonder about a variation in crop, not just for this Challenge (to allow the grey to dominate more), but also to allow this to pack more punch (eg: maybe a little more off the bottom, who knows).

A Most Unusual Bouquet

4 - Looks like you sprayed these, looks quite effective, but, in my opinion, the most interesting parts of the image are the shapes and contours of the petals that are in focus and they don't dominate enough of the frame. Maybe not quite so close and or a variation in angle may have given this a little extra.
