Please Do Not Feed The Birds

This image is good. If you ever decide on a reshoot, you might try lowering your POV so the branches aren't cutting off the people in the background's heads. Highlights a little blown but its not overwhelming the image. I am bugged by the little bit of branch on the upper left - it just floats there. I like the tones used.

If you have something taking up so much of the foreground, chances are you want to have it in focus. Otherwise it look like a mistake. The alternative, for this image, would have been to move the 'branch' on the left out of your field of view. It hink that might have made a much stronger composition even with it out of focus.

This would be an interesting image but the lighting does not help it at all. The composition is good but the lens flare does not add.

My guess is that you leaned over and took the picture. Not sure why you chose this exact spot - right where there is a dead cactus. The POV is interesting but I think a larger DOF would have helped.

Interesting subject, good placement in the frame. Noise is distracting.

Okay, I'll buy it. For what it is, the composition is okay but I think you would have been better served if we got a better view of the plane. Another thought would be to get as low to the ground as possiible so that the plane would not fight with the horizon line at the tail.

24 Hour Branch

Interesting take on the challenge. From experience, I can tell you that the vibration of a car engine causes blur 99% of the time. To take a decent shot, you have to turn the engine off or have the shutter speed at 1/2000+. I like the way you framed this.

What makes this image are the tones - they are very well done.

Spanish Moss

Comment:
I think this image would be much more effective if there was nothing behind the spanish moss to compete with it. I don't get much sense of what you were trying to do with the tones as the lighting is a little flat. There seems to be no central subject. But, you captured the texture well.
