On the right track

Without the guy walking through the gate, the photo would have been pretty average. With the guy walking through it's above average. I've got to get cool people walking through my photos!

Oh my god.. that's terrible! Tell me you gave him your coat!

I'm not sure how you could have really made this photo any better. From the looks of it you were under some pretty severe weather and probably just got what you could. Poor cow =(

I love the colors and lines, but I can't honestly say that the subject is all that interesting.

Ahh! This effect is very.. effective with this shot. While I like the crop, the right side shows an extra black line and your border looks a little uneven. Fixing the border would make the photo more put together.

That would be cool if you could get them to spell something, heh. The most interesting part of the photo is the cluster of ants in a circle. Perhaps a tighter crop on that would help improve the overall interest.

100mph and to top it off you're out of washer fluid. You're nuts.

Teak on Teak

You honestly didn't give the viewer much to look at. Without having read your title and then looking up what Teak actually was I really wouldn't have had much to work with.

La Belle Fleur Morte

I really like the colors of the leaf and twig. I'm not sure the stark white background helps much though. The white blinds your eyes which makes it harder to see the details in the leaf and twig. I think a more subtle/neutral background would have helped you see those details.

I like the overall feeling and your focus is dead on. But...

I think you're just a touch too dark. The second moth is a bit too hard to see. I also think the leaf and top stick are distracting. Without the distracting elements you could have gotten a little closer on the moths to show more of their beautiful markings while still maintaining the minimalism. With something as interesting as your moths I think they could have held the photo on their own easily.

On the edge..

I'm not sure what is off in the distance to the right, but if it were me I would have tried to capture some of the vast openness. I think that would add to the adventureness of the photo and add to the minimalism. As it is now my eye follows the left brushy wall which I find distracting. The draw to photos like this for me is that the person out on the edge got there with a great deal of difficulty. By including the hill on the left that sense of danger fades, and I picture a trail and a parking lot on the otherside of the hill.

It's a good photo, but I think you could have gotten a big "Wow" factor by turning your camera to the right a bit.
