Floating on Lavender
by supernova

Comment:
7 - Nice capture and colors. Criticism; this looks slightly 'unnatural', whether it is pp work, or what not sure, but apologies in advance if wrong. Sharper/more definition in the butterfly would have made this even better in my opinion. Possibly a little more space 'around' the butterfly as well, but not sure as 'works' as is. Also, the plant is not lavender, not sure what, maybe liatris, who knows, but your title may be referencing color anyway.

Profile of a Squirrel

6 - Good potential. Criticism; perhaps a slightly tighter crop on the right, 640 (in this case width, but possibly more height too, not sure) and sharper (although this is obviously opportune), make this even better in my opinion. Like the 'lines'/shapes.

Where Deer Wander

Comment:
6 - Very good potential. Nice scene. Criticism; likely not (and apologies in advance if wrong), but this does look slightly 'crooked' - the barbed wire fencing 'adds' to that too, so don't know. Depending what you had to work with I think that a crop variation (especially at the fore) to try to give the deer more dominance and 'pop' (obvious potential contrast issues here in pp), make this even better in my opinion.

3 - Good potential. Nice colors. Criticism; bigger (640 height in this case), sharper/better focus on the duck. Not sure on the frame, especially at this size.

Sanderlings Wintering at the Pacific Coast

7 - Nice capture. Familiar looking 'mirrored surface'.. Nice composition. Criticism; difficult, but even 'sharper', with more 'pop', make this better in my opinion. Perhaps a crop variation, depending of course what you had to work with, particularly on the right - more fine tuned to include/exclude that 'bubble'. Again, 'depending' what you had to work with, but more space above or below (below perhaps better re the reflections), using the shore/water line too, just for more overall 'balance', make it better in my opinion.

7 - Very nice colors, bokeh/background, composition and capture. Criticism; 'sharper' and more 'pop' - but very difficult I know.

4 - Looks like possibly good potential. Criticism; nudge rotation up on the right, sharper, less contrast (looks like pp issues here), a tweaking of colors and a crop variation (depending what you had to work with) all make this better in my opinion.

IT'S MINE !

Comment:
6 - Good capture. Nice background/bokeh. Criticism; difficult, but seems the tree/texture of the tree is more dominant than the squirrel. Depending what you had to work with, possibly the inclusion of a little more 'surrounds' - making this a little wider, may have given this a little extra, not sure. An obvious opportunity capture, but still, 'if only' a fraction sharper on the squirrel making it 'pop' more, but difficult, especially where the lighting seems to be and the contrast issues, etc.

Synchronicity
by rasdub

Comment:
6 - Nice capture. Criticism; even though the 'synchronicity' and reflections of 'wildlife' are there, the mirror-like surface of the water/sand with the 'bubbles' really makes this shot in my opinion. 'If only' to get both nice and sharp would have made this much better in my opinion., but difficult, obviously

Origens of Basketball

Comment:
6 - Good capture. Good detail in the whites/feathers, nice color retention. Criticism; spelling in the title and the title does not 'enhance' this shot as another may have - minor perhaps, but still, small details matter. Difficult, as obviously an opportune capture, but sharper, especially on the beaks/bills and 'both eyes' (the left one has a 'glint' which is good), make this even better in my opinion.
