What I like about this shot is the very authoritative pose of the mother goose.

Larry wants to know how you got Paris Hilton to pose for you. ;)
Amazingly whimsical pose. Terrific model, and as always, I love your processing.

Excellent, Christian. I love the midnight fantasy effect you created with the deep blue, and the wild setting in the trees. The mask works really well -- I would never have known it was a paper cutout if you hadn't said so. Congratulations on the top 10 placement, on the new PB, and on a great imagination!

Very pretty dragonfly and clear shot. I think the white spots on the eyes are interesting. I've never seen that.

Nice shot of Spring. I think if this was my photo, I would lighten it a bit with a levels adjustment, and I would try boosting the yellow a little -- either by a color balance adjustment or by increasing the yellow saturation. I think that would increase the vibrancy. Another possibility would be to try a curves adjustment in luminosity mode.

It's so hard to photograph white birds without blowing out the highlights. If you shoot RAW, sometimes the detail can be recovered. I like the green water, as it is nicely reflecting the surroundings. The swan does look lonely with its head bowed like that.

Cool cat

It always surprises me to see a cat in water, but of course I know tigers like to bathe. Nice composition with the diagonal line of his back. I think I would vignette this slightly, just to contain the image and keep the eye from drifting off the edges.

Beautiful detail here. Really nice the way the light is reflecting from those delicate wings.
