He looks really good against the pink, but I bet he would look good against most any color scheme.

The colors are great fun. I could see this being someone's nightmare shot if they're afraid of snakes, though.

She's gorgeous! Her coat just gleams. Rotts (or RottenWilders, as a friend calls them) are terrific dogs.

You'd think the car would be too hot to lie on! She looks pretty cool up there.

Aw, they're adorable. My first cat had been feral till she was 6 months' old but she eventually came out from behind the furniture and warmed up to us. There's still hope for these little guys. Watch that biting thing, though, or you'll wind up with an infection (yuck!) for your troubles.

I hate it when that happens! It turned out pretty well, considering ;-)

Hmm. Not that I've ever run into that problem (yeah, right) but maybe go back before the sharpening and increase the contrast more, then reduce the sat slightly on green, then sharpen? The composition is lovely and the flowers (are they peas or wild peas?) are a nice contrast to the green, it's just the blue haloes that are distracting. OK, and maybe a wish for a smidge more DOF in the first place, but I'm sure you knew that.

Processing looks good to me. I might crop more so it's not so centered ... off the right, I think, so the point of the flower heads more or less towards the corner of the crop.

Pretty pinks and nicely veined. Looks like maybe a little more DOF would have brought more of the foreground flowers into focus.
