I gave this a 7 and wondered whether it was taken in a natural environment, glad to see the credit I gave was due. Nice capture of one of my favorite creatures.

I gave this a 7. Amazing scene, really liked the colors and depth captured. 'If only' a little more depth of field to show the fore water and that distant mountain (maybe, although then it might compete with the iceberg/shelf too much, who knows) and maybe a perspective correction (but could be a visual thing, apologies if so). Always a beautiful subject to view.

I gave this an 8. Loved the clarity and colors. 'If only' a little more texture/depth/feel, but difficult and minor.

I gave this an 8 and remember looking at the bird and assuming you either got lucky and/or was patient enough for one to 'enter stage', on reading your notes seems I was right. Why someone would think you pasted it in is shallow. Really nit-picking, main thing that held it back for me was the capture of the feel of the water - 'if only' more detail and texture... but very difficult.

I gave this an 8. As you know, I think this is an excellent series of images. I just looked and noted the differences between:



Tones aside (I like the color too), I think I like her glance in the b&w, just seems to capture her character a little more.. if that makes sense.

I gave this an 8. Beautiful warm light and colors. Just a more refined crop, but fairly minor. I'm sure this size doesn't do this justice.

I gave this an 8. Really liked the composition and capture. The 'hidden' (visually) candid nature of this helps capture her seemingly 'far away mind'. The clothing and accessories of course come up extremely well with your excellent processing - which if you could bottle and sell would perhaps make you a tidy sum. The focal points too, very good. Excellent image.

I gave this an 8. They're such beautiful creatures. Very nice capture of them. Wondered about a slightly tighter crop at the bottom, but fairly minor. Nice lighting.

I gave this an 8. Amazing capture and I remember pondering this for a while and wishing that it had a whisker nudge up on the right or a perspective correction to straighten. That and I 'experimented' holding my hand up to remove the red bottom right (personal preference and all) - but, obviously, that was your call and either way, still an excellent capture.
