Great treatment and impressive post-processing

A festive welcome

Very cute and clever. One of those images that makes you smile which is really good stuff. If it suffers anywhere it is because you've had to crop the birds so close to the left hand edge which has messed up your best composition options. From this angle, I can see that if you'd added any more left margin, you'd have ended up with the house next door as a horrid distraction. The solution I think would have been to take 5 steps to the left which would have made the ivy as the background to the birds, the foreground tree would have nestled between the door and window and you would have had more cropping options. Easy to be wise after the fact huh :)

"Red"

Technically brilliant. You've held the papers texture while still giving it a gradient - I'm impressed. The composition is so sophisticated, it takes my breath away. This could hang as a 6ftx4ft mural in any corporate boardroom!

Red Milk Eruption

It seems your splash has been lost in the background which is a pity because these are so hard to do. A slightly lower camera may have made it stand up with the white of the milk behind it

I originally saw this is a selective desaturation but of course it isn't which makes its subtelty that much more appealing

Great fruit, nice to see you prepared them. DOF is perfect too ... not sooo sure about the sticker. Being centred bugs me just a little, I'd love to see it with some additional white neutral space and the basket on a thirds intersection.

At least they don't have to worry about getting the kids to mow the lawns! This minimalist approach really really works. This is a brave and photographically sophiticated composition
