Sorry about the bee sting, but I think it was worth it. This is a very nice composition with good texture and color. I can see this in pp with everything in the background receding in darkness and just the flower and the few leaves in front standing out.

You've tackled a tough one here. It is well composed, but busy everywhere and there's not a lot to focus on. Seems to me the pond reflection and the path leading away are the main focal points that need to be highlighted while all else is toned down. Also, the light colored tree trunks in the background could be hightened for added interest.

This is quite dramatic and I love the pov. Yes, its a little dark, but with curves/levels and some dodgeing/burning it should work very well.

I find that happens a lot with me. What I see in my head doesn't necessarily match what I see on my screen. Yes, frustrating. However, I think this has a great deal of potential to be a really nice photo. You have some nice lines happening and an interesting sky. Lots to work with. You say you've already pped it. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Very nice composition that shows off a beautiful animal. He looks very regal and content.

Can't wait for part 2. In the meanwhile, what the heck is it? I like the composition and the contrast with the b&w background.

I would have cropped out the bead at the top. Otherwise, good composition.

The tree on the left is distracting, but otherwise this is a nice composition. Not really red, but in the family.
