Very beautiful, but entirely lacking in fauna unless they're so well camoflaged as to be undetectable.

Stunning. I assume you didn't paint him, so I guess this effect is mostly achieved via levels. Can't wait for the 'How I did it'. Congratulations!

Photographer's "Paint"

Did you try this in a vertical orientation, maybe without the boxes at R? Not seeing any of the boxes in full gives this image a very cramped, cluttered feel. The lighing is odd, too. the three boxes in the background (L) are better lit than the one up front. I see what you were aiming for, I think, but I don't think this is quite it.

I hope this is doing better than I'm afraid it is (if that makes any sense). I esp. like the lighitng on your background. Very fine.

Clean, sharp, well lit, great tones and reflections plus multiple levels of meaning. Nice. The only fly in the jam, IMO, is the somewhat static centered composition.

One of the best photographic rules I've learned is that, every time you're tempted to use the camera's built-in flash, you have to pinch youself somewhere painful as hard as you can for as long as you can stand it. Pretty soon, you stop being tempted. Nothing screams 'snapshot' so shrilly as the combination of overexposed highlights and background falloff produced by these (damned) things. They're okay for taking a picture of the product of a fender-bender, but if you want to make a pleasing image you're much better off using a tripod (or even just bracing against something and taking a deep breath, releasing the shutter while exhaling) and natural light.

This is pretty good photography, although I personally would have opted for a more diffused light source rather than those hard shadows. My gripe here is that, unless you made this tile, the image falls into the dreaded category of OPA (other people's art). To make an image of OPA that's worthwhile, as opposed to holding up a photocopier to it, it's necessary to present it in such a way that the image adds something to the original work. A unique perspective, maybe, or a composition which shows the piece's relationship to its surroundings.
