I think I'll give you a . . . 10

Really good photograph. Nice and sharp, great focus. The colors of the two cats are great and the background complement them both. Don't know what you're holding in front of them, but you've certainly got their attention! I don't know if you could have done anything about it, but that door at the back is just a little bit of a distraction. Your composition is great and the angle of the camera on the cat's is good. Nice lighting here also, highlights the colors of the cat's fur just right!

nice photo of your dog. he's in focus and the photo is sharp and the colors are good. Unfortunately, the flash has put his shadow all over the wall behind him, a common mistake we all make. Perhaps bouncing the flash off the ceiling may help.

HURRY!! I can't hold this pose much longer.

Such vibrant colors on that chair! No, No, I mean on that bird! He is just beautiful. You've done a lovely job in taking his photograph. And the Green jungle behind him complements him completely. Everything is in focus including the little band on his foot, even his little claws! I love thos blue feathers coming down off his back.
Just wonder that when you were cropping, could you have gotten rid of the floor and drapes to the right?

Birth of a Flower

You've tried to come up with a nice photograph, and the background fits in with the white flower, but to me, the flower seems like it is slightly out of focus. Instead of having it centred, perhaps a bit to the left or to the right would be more suitable?

I like the diagonal display, and the color that you've brought into play has a good quality to it. The "star" filter effect is also nicely done. The harsh light on the top left corner on the Pawn and Rook is a bit distracting however, and I would like to perhaps have seen the whole board in focus if possible. The lighting/reflection below your King is also a bit annoying, draws attention away from the pieces on the board. Excellent idea and very creative. . .

Missing Sunset

Oh, come on now, you couldn't have waited for the sun to set? You've got everything in here, and even though it looks cluttered, everything seems to fit. The black and white game board, the blue vase, the glass bear, the lovely polished box, the polished table, the beauty of that little girl with her smiling eyes looking out at you. Is that a blue ribbon on top of her hair? The only distracting thing is the photograph on the left wall. I think I would have taken it down for this picture.
Congratulations - - I think you're worth a

Lovely candid shot. Such a beautiful little smile. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you've used just the natural lighting here? The colors of the sweater are really vibrant and alive and the two blue's of the swing seat and plastic wiring are great. I like the way the little earrings show up in her ears, you've captured a lot of detail, and that smile is worth a million words. You've done a good job using the rule of 3rds by not having her smack in the middle of the photo, too.

Stages

Very fascinating photograph. The lighting is nicely done, showing buds starting to open up, the one flower in the background just starting to bloom and of course the one in centre stage in full bloom showing it's full beauty for all to see and admire. My eyes focus on the front flower, wander to the upper one, then on to the closed buds and return to the front flower again. Nicely job.

this just doesn't seem to match the description of the contest.
The color of the bowl is nice as is the floor/counter, however. . .
