A perfect bird portrait , I can't think of anything that would improve it further.

Wow, her eyes draw all the attention, nice subtle coloring. I am not usually fond of partial saturation but the effect does work here, I am wondering whether it would be any less without the coloring. Good portrait, focus and depth of field is just perfect, as is the composition.

Up and over... and in?

I like the expression of the man on the left. That man, the ball and the small piece of grass are for me the main elements. I would have like to see a bit wider context. As your title already indicates, one cannot see where the ball is going, into the goal ? I find there is too much in between the ball and the man on the left, a fraction of a second earlier , with the ball in the middle, would have been better, but I realise that is easy to say but difficult to do.

Split Bout....the inner struggle

I see it has been validated and am curious to find out how it was done, it feels like extensive photoshopped but apparently is not. It is a nice idea and the posture of the man on the right is dynamic, good. The left one looks a bit static, with both feet flat on the ground and with such a tight crop. I think it general it could have done with some more space around it.

I am sorry I am not really impressed with this one. It is a nice idea but does not really work for me. At first I thought the shadow was supposed to be hers, but now I understand it is not. The shadow is so big that it does not fit. Also the blur it causes across her body feels somehow strange. I do like the drops flying of her face, that's a nice touch.

Awakening

Another fine example that it is worth it getting up early. Great early morning atmosphere, the first warm light above the cold morning mist. Lovely soft colors. I would have cropped away more of the front, not only is this part darker and attracts attention, it also contains this nasty little iron pole on the left. Just cropping it straight above the pole makes it better, in my opinion.

A very special image, looks like it was painted with light with all those shadows and highlights. I am curious how it looks without the partial desaturation, the way you have done it is very special, not concentrating on one single item, but maybe just a bit over the top, I am unsure. Anyway a visually fascinating image.

Graceful Departure

A beautiful sunset, great warm colors and lines in the sky. A small crop of the left would make it better in my opinion, my eye is moving away to the left because of the leading line, also because I am missing a single focal point. Could you have placed yourself in the image as silhouette ? That would have done it.

Red Dragon

The colors are great, very vibrant combination, reminding me of late summer. I have some difficulty with the composition, I would have preferred to see some more empty space to the left, so the dragonfly moves out of the middle. Maybe that would also have given the opportunity to get a bit more depth of field.

Early Morning Seascape

Absolutely gorgeous, you early morning rise certainly paid off, it is hard isn't it ? Especially the blur of the flowing water, the glow from the sunrise on the water and the large stones breaking the water and giving a point to rest the eyes upon are perfect. The sunrise itself and the cliff finish the image off nicely but the front really creates the appeal for me.
