Shelter from Harm

The duck has just enough 'camoflague' with the shadows so as not to dominate the subject of the image I think. The branch could be more dominant though so as to really seem to be covering the duck, Nice lines in the branches and textures in the water although it took a while for me to notice the rain, which could be more obvious.

Branch ... By Definition

Comment:
Could have maybe experimented with magnifying glasses between the camera lens and glasses to leave the definition of branch as slightly sharper than the rest. Then again it may overdo what has been achieved with the framing already.

Comment:
The single leaf in the foreground seems to detract rather than aid the DOF in this shot.

Silhouette

Comment:
The direction of the lightsource was wrong for a silhouette, and there's nothing to break the monotony of the branches.

Lovely movement between the clouds and the branches.

Seems to be slightly overdone (saturated colours i think) in 'post' stages.

Seems to be lacking sharpness.

Tree-Top Landing

If only the trees in the background weren't there this shot would be so much better. It's still amazing as it is, and I love the pose you captured.

A messy tangle like that is shouting for you to find something, anything in there to focus on and rest our eyes. An animal or insect, something like that maybe?

A beautifully taken shot, however the branches aren't singled out in any way to make them the principal subject.
