I like the alternating colors of the background and the dof for me is perfect

These trains have some beautiful personality and I like the contrast between the rusty and the black one. My only thought would be a different angle. If you could have gotten up on the tracks and a little more up close to them so they filled the frame, maybe with some track lines leading up to them.

I like the texture in this, I also like the purple. Very unique flower. IMO the yellow and green could be lightened a smidge, but I love the overall darker look.

The semi softness of the feathers leading to the sharp eye is awesome. Thank you for my comment btw.

I love the background. I did not get to vote on this either. I will say that I don't feel that the detail in the wood takes away from the detail in the bird. They both look cool to me. I would have cropped the right up to the wood grain though.

The River Runs Through it....

I like the bridge. I personally would prefer a different background. I like the windows in the building on the left but the building on the right has no interest for me. Maybe a vantage point from closer to the bridge? imo the unnatural color of the water that is at the bottom of the picture is a little distracting too. The processing really did make the detail in the buildings pop. It gives them a lot of texture.

I love this detail, and I feel like he/she has this expression like "hey baby" That water looks so clear. I would like to say thank you btw, first pass during voting I gave this a 5, I am bumping to 8. You show me how important it is to make the time and go back for commenting. I must have been half asleep the first time I went through.

I like the concept. imo the bush that is right here in front takes away from this picture. it keeps drawing my eye when what I really want to look at is the nice layering you have that should be pulling my through the picture to those sun rays peeking through the clouds.

Nice leading lines, imo I would have cropped out the sky some and done a converson to B&W
