Nature against litter

I quite like the idea. Nice DOF, good vibrancy on the colours, good focus. If I had to nitpick, I'd say the bricks on the wall look a bit odd, almost like they have a cartoony smoothness to them, not sure why that is. I like the shot anyway.

Glamorous Garbage

It's not often I say it but what interesting garbage, haha. Who knew rotten fruit could look so cool! Nice colours and focus. I think your 'set' is an open notebook, very clever; the ring binder along the back doesn't actually majorly bother me but the harsh light in the upper left corner does. I'd have perhaps tried pointing the light source in a different direction.

Voting later.

Earth, Waste and Fire

I like the title. Interesting take, I'd guess you might not be doing too well since it's not a 'literal' image of garbage but pollution is certainly a form of waste, so it fits for me. Love the lighting, the mixture of blue and purple tones is good. My only gripe is that the crop seems a shade too tall, I'd have perhaps tried to shoot from a bit further away in a landscape ratio, or cropped up over some of the puddle.

Voting later.

Fantastic shot. Sharp enough but has an appealing softness which suits the subject. Gorgeous cat too and lovely lighting. Best of luck with this, I think it will do well.

Jump For Joy!!!

This doesn't say celebration to me without the title and even then, I think it's a bit of a stretch; it's a lovely shot nonetheless, beautiful animal, a nice clear action capture.

My cake

Nice DOF, you've got great focus on the miniature tree. Good exposure, some nice colours. I'm going to bump my vote up on this.

A New Life Together

Love the golden tones and that lovely bokeh. A nice sentiment also. I'd have perhaps had a more even amount of each of their wrists showing but that's a small nitpick, just personal taste, the composition doesn't suffer as it is. Could be a wee tad sharper overall but I do like this.

WOO-HOO!! We've finally done it, Jenkins! We've taken 'the cake'!!!

The pink thing in the background is a bit distracting, I'd have moved it before taking the shot or desatruated it during editing but overall, I really like this, it made me chuckle. Nice and crisp, cool little characters; it totally says celebration to me, since the little man on top looking like he's cheering, as well as the presence of cake. Cake is great for celebrating. Mmm..... cake.
