That blue is way over-saturated. Not a bad shot other than that.

Good Day for a Swim

Great choice to go with a square crop on this. It really stands out in the challenge.

Fountain

I have a feeling you're going to get hammered in this challenge for photographing a fountain, as it is not natural.

The exposure is nice, and in general I like the composition. What I don't like about the composition is the background elements such as the cars and light post. Also, in Advanced Editing challenges, you can remove those power lines.

I see a teensy bit of motion blur, but otherwise, nice shot.

This is nice. The flawed bit of dock makes this image unique.

Unfortunately, nothing is in focus here. Also, there's large patches of white that are over-exposed. The upper right corner of the shot has some interesting richness going on in it that I like.

Why certainly. I'd love my picture taken.

I totally believe that the cow said that. She looks so friendly!

Puppet Nighmares

Comment:
This is oddly appealing. It seems like such a simple shot, but there's something about it that I really like. It's very clean.

I would have cropped the foreground puppet's controls off. I think they're distracting and the doll is still understood to be a puppet without them.

Isn't that going up? I think you need to reverse the method you used to create this with your flash. I could be wrong though. I haven't used those flash modes in ages. Really nice idea though.

Something about this doesn't work. It just doesn't seem like a "walk on the wild side" to have the music page there. That to me says safe and structured. A wild one would just wing the song, because that's wild. If that doesn't make sense, feel free to send me a PM.

Also, your lighting is really harsh. That does great things to the leather as far as defining highlights and shadows, but the closer you get to the source of the light, the harder it is to look at. Take a look at the upper right corner of the photo. See how nice the lighting is up there? I bet that's where the light from your source started falling off. But if you look at the bottom left, it's got really bright spots that jump out at you in an unfriendly way.
