California Poppy

Comment:
These poppies have great colour. The partial flower on the left is distracting though. Cropping it out would give the image far more impact.

Inner Sanctum

Comment:
The lighting inside the dome is incredible. The eye is drawn immediately to the circle at the top of the dome. Even though there are several blown areas they are not distracting due to the strength of the rest of the image.

Crane

Comment:
The orange and black are nice contrasts. The white object in the background is a bit distracting.

The orange crane is a little too central. Cropping most of the out of focus part of the newspaper in the foreground or moving the orange crane forward and changing the focus point could help this.

Adding another black bird in place of the white object could add to the impact.

Me And My Shadow

Comment:
Nice capture though the crop is a little tight at the tip of the shadow. A slight adjustment to the brightness/contrast would probably make the snowboarder's suit pop more. It looks a little washed out.

The Provocative Popsicle

The background colour doesn't seem to work. A solid black background would make your subject pop.

You've lit this perfectly. They're a little too close to the background though therefore not blurring the background enough. They might have had more impact with a white background.

Orange and blue macaw

Gorgeous bird. Unfortunately the background is a bit distracting. To blur the background more a larger aperture is required (small number). This would make the depth of field shallower.

orange offering

Comment:
Creative shot. To me it seems a little under exposed and the flower's focus is a little soft. Focus seems to be on the thumb of the nearest hand rather than the flower.

Parallel Strings

Comment:
DOF seems to be in the wrong place and too shallow. Also, to eliminate the sharpness of the background move your subject further away from it.

The angle you chose to take this picture works (other than the list to port). Cropped a little tight on top.
