That's one funny looking bird you caught Greg. Fantastic job on the composition, it just seems perfect.

It probably would have scored decent but some folks would have nailed you for only a bit of water. But this is one heckuva macro Roz. The detail on that is amazing. How close do you actually get to these things?

I don't think I've ever seen (that I know of!) a female cardinal. I like the composition and the angle you got the guy from.

I like the minimalist feel to this and those verticals in the background mirroring your main subject.

13 Itsy Bitsy Spider

That is one creepy looking spider, and I can appreciate how hard it is to get these shots. If you don't want to spring for a macro lens, check out extension tubes. I've been playing with them for days on my 70-200 and you can get great shots. You have to get fairly close to your subject but with good glass the shots are crystal clear. I got mine for <$100 on Amazon, and the cheap ones work great.

What a poem, and the shot is fitting. The processing is fantastic here; I'd love to know how you did it. My only nitpick is the left side that's a bit darker, but maybe you wanted it that way.

The simplicity along with the muted colors really make this shot. I like how he's wearing slippers and she appears to have dress shoes on, this tells a nice story. It's not a date (and least I would never wear slippers out) so they've known each other for a while, yet they still play. I could be wrong and those are shoes, but it works either way.

The vignette, border, and the tilt just make this a fun shot.

I think this turned out quite well, and I really like those colors. As far as the HDR, it looks like you've chosen a difficult angle while shooting almost straight into the sun. I'm guessing that all of your bracketed shots are overexposed in the center, just some more than others. It's a complete guess of course without knowing your settings. Also, there's a bit of haloing around the tree on upper left, which can be caused by several different things. Feel free to PM with any specific questions.
