I love the detail of this including the seeds in her mouth. I think it would really do you well to adjust curves and entrich the coloration of the entire shot. Just a thought.

Good luck! 7

Perfect for the name. I love the motion blur of the cricket! I might up the saturation of color a smidge. Nicely done. 7

This has the aww factor. I think more negative space might've helped it. In a perfect scenario, there would be more of a studio type set up and they'd be on a solid background (white or black) and then they'd really POP Also, if that were the case, I'd remove the dog tags, but who has a studio??? Certainly not me!!!

I like this. It's has a fun holiday spirit to it. I might've shot from a slightly diff. perspective so that the one clump of red trees isn't quite so centered. But overall, it's clear and nicely done for a low light shot. 7

Very pretty. It's simple and nicely detailed. I like the brownish red edging on the leaves. Great DOF!! 7

Very pretty. I think it is screaming for a curves adjustment - it would really deepen the tonality. The vista and detail of the rocks is nice, but I think that added oomph would really send this panorama over the top. Nicely focused and the perspective is good. 7

Very pretty. I wonder if you cropped out the peak in the far back left. Or maybe shot it from the angle so that wasn't visible in the shot. It still wouldn't have the large rock in the foreground dead centered. Just a thought.

Lovely rich hues of blue and lavender. I wish there were a bird on the rock, or something to really give it that extra POP. Good luck!! 7

This is something I'd do. I like the simplicity and the nice contrast. Great use of negative space too. Very graphic!!! 7

There are quite a few with this name. This is my 2nd favorite. I like the deep rich sunset hues. It would be perfect if you had an animal or human silhouette to actually be looking at it, but then you can't always create nature (or models ) LOL

Nice - 7

Very pretty. I love the rippling watery reflection. Nice crisp detail on the bird. I'm not crazy about the greenish blue filter, but no defaults for that - it's just my taste. Overall, a striking image and very lovely. 8
