Either more focus of more blurring is needed here. As it is it looks like you missed the shot rather than chose to shoot soft.

The border is distracting with all the thorns of about the same color running through and under it.

Like Mother Like Daughter (Left and Right Profiles)

I enjoy the light heartedness of this shot and realise it was probably a spur of the moment thing, but the backround is distracting and dosen't help you tell this story. The fact that the mother seems to have sprouted a twig from her belly button ect. Same shot with a solid backroung and shot about two feet to the right so you were square on would have been much stronger

Nature in Black and White

Great expression on the beasty, but the framing puzzles me. I would have either pulled back and gotten his whole body and the architecture of curves of this feet and tail, or moved in so his face filled the frame to maximise the power of his gaze. This composition does a bit of both but neither all the way.

In a still life set up you have to be able to get the subejct in focus! If this shot is in focus then something happened in post processing because it isn't now. No matter how good an idea you have people can't judge it if the presentation is flawed. Be fair to your ideas, shoot and review untill you get what you want.

Im not sure if the cromatic aberation can in the camera or is the result of too much saturation in post processing, but it hurts this shot. Strong idea but too jangly in the final image.

Game of Opposites!

why the keystone perspective? either shoot at a lower more dynamic angle or from square up for the static image. It seems to me this angle straddles the fence and is hurt for it.

I think this would have been stronger with less grass, and with out the distracting triangle of white in the upper right corner. Crop it square and make it bigger

Good subject matter, but if you can't get it in focus you missed the capture. In some fora you can get away with a certain softness, but here it seems to be a mania, and sport action dosen't lend itself to soft focus.
