Humorous Birthday

A very gritty interesting look tonally. I think I see what you're trying to convey, but it just doesn't say humor or birthday to me. The image actually feels a bit disturbing, which isn't necesarily a bad thing at all, I like a photo that stirs an emotional response, positive or negative, but, IMO, I just can't see this as a greeting card at all.

Great shot! Focus and dof are super. Very interesting editing. I think if the hair had not been added in the selective desat, the shot wouldn't work nearly as well (meaning if just the clothing were left in color) And I could definitely see this as a card. Awesome job, I really like it :-)

Adorable photo, although the pups don't look too amused to be wearing the hats

Wowsers, seems like it's a little strong in the saturation department?

This photo really grabs my attention. Very strong compositionally. Awesome dof. Great detail. I really like the tones. Interesting how even though the colors are close, the bird really stands out. (part of the awesome dof, huh?) Great job.

This is a really cool idea. I really like the concept. The selective desat in this case I feel serves a purpose. In all honesty though, the nostrils showing are a bit un appealing, and they seem to take attention away from the lips.

Missing You

Nice tones. I really like the concept of the shot. I'm not a stickler for having to use the rule of thirds, but, IMO, in this case I think moving the subject out of the center, towards the right of the frame, could strengthen the shot.

Very creative idea. Nice set up. Something about the lighting or color seems just a slight bit flat.
