That is a nice tree! I think isolating the tree more in the image, perhaps concentrating on the nice green to the right of it might make a better image (?)

I love tree shadows which you captured so well.
Only sour note - needs a bit more space on the right.

This is great. Love the DOF. I'd brighten it, but that may just be my eyes.

Does this appear dark to only me?
DOF is wonderful, but me, the color lover, is just itching to take this in PS and play!

Here the blur works so well!
I know I am a broken record, but boosting the color a wee bit might add a spark to the image. I am also not a fan of frames.

Nice reflection capture in the large drop. The only suggestion is to put something in there - get a reflection of an object or face.

Hard to tell what this is without the title. Boosting the sky colors would being the focus to it and add to the silhouette of the ship.

Nice macro but it is a bit soft and needs some contrast.

Just a note of thanks to all - you can tell it is color that draws me in, especially blue! All the leaves were over my head so I was a bit limited in composition there. I used my Sigma 18-200 OS for all the shots - you have to pry that lens out of my cold dead hands to get it away from me LOL
I am constantly amazed at how well it performs.

As to the background - it was dark but there was some white bokeh in the upper right corner that I removed.
