Its Not Easy Being Green

Like the transparency you've captured here. Colors are very good. Composition good. The only real thing to 'pull apart' here, may be the slight grain in the darker areas near the feet, but very minor. Make a nice large print.

Blue Siberian Iris

Comment:
Nice colors. 'If only' the outer petal at the fore were a little sharper make this even better in my opinion. That part of the shot/composition is so dominant that it detracts from the more finely focussed area, in my opinion. The yellows/golds in the background are complementary, but perhaps a little less depth of field/blurring could have allowed the iris to 'pop' more.

This looks like it has good 'pp' potential, maybe. Like the 'smoke/steam' element. Perspective is good, and while difficult or even impossible, an even sharper one, with possibly more height as well, likely give this even more drama in my opinion. Of course not so tight a crop of the 'smoke/steam', but depends on what you had to work with, obviously.

Nice capture. Unusual with that 'pattern'/whatever on the wood. If the bird was just a little more dominant, make this even better in my opinion, but I realize perhaps you were going for what you've got here.

Inca Tern 2

Comment:
Excellent coloring. Might just be the angle/perspective, but looks like it needs a nudge rotation up on the right, but apologies if wrong. 'If only' the beak were a little sharper, make this even better in my opinion. Very nice and complementary background/bokeh.

Nice capture of this hard to kill lily. The 'black' fly adds an element to this in my opinion. Good colors. The shine/reflection slightly detracts, but minor.

Very nice. Left a more detailed comment on the other version.

Favorite Spot

Comment:
Nice capture. I like the other version also, but there is a little more detail in the eagle in this. Both however, as you know, have a little 'haze', or grain, but probably due to the pp as you mentioned. The other, wall size, I'm sure looks great. Nice scene and composition. The fact that this was taken in the wild makes it even better in my opinion.

'7' likely - good set up, likely a crop variation (depending what you had to work with of course), to cut out more of the toaster and perhaps include more of the black smoke at the top may have made this better in my opinion.

Honey...Your Drink!

'5' maybe '6', difficult shot, but focus sharper on the glass/liquid as seems to be on the floor/tiles just in front of it, make this better in my opinion.
