Whoa...this is a terrific action shot!! The dynamic color, sense of motion, perspective, and clarity work well together. I think this would do extremely well in an action or sports challenge! The only thing I would change would be to have it going vertical rather than horizontal, to really speak to the heighth of the jump. But that's minor. This is great!! :)

This is such a sweet candid capture...how can you go wrong with little girls and ponies? ;)

I might suggest a tiny bit of contrast boost, and maybe a saturation boost of a point or two. I would also clone out the parts of the person visible next to the girls in the bottom right corner, if this was going to be printed. I can tell by the horse that the scene is level, but the angle makes the fence look like they're all tilted to the left. Not sure I'd bother trying to adjust that since it would probably just mess it up. I think it's a very neat moment captured here. Great job. :0)

This is lovely...the pastel colors give it a unique, artistic flair. I think the angle, over the fence, is nice. Sometimes I get tired of seeing shots from eye-level only. ;) Was this a panoramic? I am sure the large version is really stunning. :0)

This one needs a rotation clockwise. The greens are very lush, it's a shame the light is so harsh on the left side of the frame, blowing out the leaves/flowers and the bright spot on the doorway. I bet this would be a great duotone as well. :)

My favorite of the series you selected for me to comment upon...this is very striking with lots of colors, details, and textures. I'm sure this would be beautiful up on a wall! :)

Ah this is very nice...great scenery and location. It's so unfortunate about that blown-out sky. Replace that white patch with some blue or a sky from another photo and you have a really pretty print here.

Beautiful colors and scenery. I think this would be pretty framed. I don't particularly like the trees at the top; they make me think they're hanging upside down. I'd prefer the sky alone but that's just me. Overall it's a gorgeous picture. :)

On this one, I would be inclined to replace the background entirely with black, and really bump up the red. You can replace the reflections in the chrome as well, but they're not distracting. It might need a minor rotation to the left, less than a degree...I wish I could photograph cars like this. :o)

OMG that looks like a creepy cross between a gremlin and a tree frog! How unusual! It would be great if you could clone out the person in the background. Nice color and focus! :o)

This is an interesting shot with lots to look at. It would have been nice to have the tops of her masts visible instead of being cut off, but sometimes that can't be helped. I think the focus is good; perhaps a bit more USM could make the name more sharp. The b/w is nice. Did you convert it to disguise a rather dull sky or was the shot a bit overexposed? The contrast could probably be increased a little and the sky burned for a bit more drama. Nice image, though. :o)
