The detail in his talons and tail feathers is amazing. GREAT capture. Birds in flight are tough, in my opinion - looks like you've got the hang of it!

Good capture of the artwork. What would be really cool is if you could get the artist to pose there! We have a similar situation here, where the graffiti changes from time to time. I just noticed that your vignetting covers your border as well - that's an interesting trick!

Nice minimalism. Has a sense of spaciousness and freedom to it.

Very crisp and clean - you get marvelous clarity and tonal range in your black and white conversions. You should do a short tutorial and let the rest of us in on your secrets!

Water Rights

I liked the title - my grandparents had a farm in Utah and my grandpa was on the local water board. Water rights are a big thing in the west. Nice composition, lovely deep blues in the water.

City Light

Apparently voters aren't Christmas light friendly this time of year. Heck, for all we know, they could be Easter lights. I gave it a 6. For some reason it struck me as a little lonely.

Would someone get him off my back, please!

I liked this one, Kelli. Very good detail, especially on their skin, and good strong diagonal composition. Maybe a bit more on the left side - have his whole foot in the shot? I don't know, though. I think it works pretty well the way it is.

The Corral

I kinda like the triangular composition, created by the triangle of the fence to begin with, then the horse then the building. In my uneducated opinion, cropping a bit off the top helps strengthen the composition.

Her "Bestest Buddy"

A very cute pose by both of them, though the critter is looking just a tad nervous. Catherine already remarked that midday sun can be kinda harsh, but I figure if you want to get a shot and it's midday and the sun is out - go with it! Not everything needs to be the umpteenth degree of art - sometimes a picture is just a picture and that's good.

The Smile

I thought this very aptly titled, as it's the smile that makes the picture.
