A good closeup with nice color. The shadows look too dark and there's a hot spot near the top right. Working with layers, would tweak the contrast selectivly, by creating a copy of the original , doing the contrast settings there and then erasing away the too dark and too bright spots, then merging the layers and doing some more tweaking. Keep shooting :)

Beautiful Autumn still life. Nice warm colors of the leaf and table. Very nicely composed and lit. The soft appearance is also very befitting.

Excellent composition. The wings are beautiful. Do wish the body was more in focus. Great catch though.

Under the Bridge

I like this very much. Do think the impact would've been stronger if the bottom was cropped out and the shot more centered. I've tried to see how it looks cropped out via scrolling and it sure does have a hypmatizing effect. The eye going in and out and not wandering out of the frame as much. Right now the bottom is distracting. Hope this does well for you.

Tree of Life

The image is gorgeous. Only nitpick, would like to see a little more detail on the bride her self, especially on her face and her torso area. It's a tad too soft in that area when compared to the the tree textures, which seem to have the bulk of the detail and compete for attention. I like this shot a lot and can easily say this will make the top10. Good luck! :)

Up up and Away

One of my favorite ballooning photos in the challenge I've seen. Nicely shot. Only nitpick , the reds are a tad oversaturated and the shadows a little too dark. I can understand how just boosting the contrasting can cause those side effects, just needs a little tweaking in PP.

Touchdown

Cool shot! The only thing I'd suggest to touch up is the top cyan colored part of the sky. Smooth that out to a gradient, it looks a little blotchy, and maybe tweak the hue a bit as well.
