Thanks for the honesty and criticism. I have quite a few 'moments of madness', especially when editing (also known as 'freefloat') - I envisioned what I'd like to have 'wallsized' hanging in my living room, at the time (based on 'mood'), this is the result. As I said, not to everyone's taste, but that's what happens when you take a 'pure photograph' and tweak it 'artistically'. Here's the 'pure' (which has sadness in it, because of the 'raw truth' that I can see, which I guess is another reason I 'turned it into something else' - hard to explain):

Nice feel to this image. A more refined crop at the top makes it a stronger image in my opinion.

Very nice, nice clarity and color. There is an issue bottom right in the black area.

8 - Beautiful. Gorgeous rich colors. At first wanted to see the texture more, but I like the 'smoothness'.

Nice action shot, good story. The boy's expression is good. Bet he isn't a city kid.

Like the metallic nature to this image. The composition works well too. With a rider in the background gives it some story/context too.

While the oof fore dominating so much is slightly distracting, the patterns and colors within the mother (?) offset and highlight the main subject, the cub, very well. Really like the clarity of the details in the cub and the colors, especially the baby blue eyes.

I like the angle of this and the natural environment, but mostly the somewhat 'candid' look on Katee's face.

I gave this a 6. I liked the concept, but wonder about a variation in angle/perspective to show the diving board (?) in more detail.
