Sun-flared layers of "Dust Screens Intercepting Shadows"

Interesting effect; I like the motion but it does not appear to me that you avoided silhouetting your subject. I would probably crop at least a third more off the top to get rid of most of the glaring white and make the horse and rider a bigger part of the image.

Seal candle

Honestly, this doesn't appeal to me. The focus seems to be on the wick and the lighting there looks more interesting than on the rest of the candle, but it's too small a part of the overall image to really see any detail. The candle itself is neither reflective nor of varying density so the light doesn't play off of it or shine through it in interesting ways to me.

What a flat, flat head it has! Not sure about the centered composition but I very much like the lighting and background.

I like the timing of this shot because I find that one rear foot and splash of water intriguing, though I know it's not meant to be the focal point here. I guess I'm more used to all the paddling being below the surface; I like seeing more of the propellor action.

The whites look a little blown out on my monitor.

Nice composition; highlights look a little blown out but if they were darker the butterfly would be too dark. Challenging lighting.
