Those look like seed pods, which is even more interesting than leaves. Life will spring anew.

Very pretty girl, but this nice shot appears to have been sharpened too much.

I love bird faces. This is a great one. That eye is beautiful. You have done a wonderful job with the color in this shot, and the highlights are perfect. You got a good score too. Congratulations!

I take a lot of shots of Great Blue Herons, so I know a good one when I see it. This is a good one, but not a great one. I think that's what hurt the score -- too many other GBH shots out there to compare it with.

What I do really admire about this is the background. That is hard to get -- the colors, clarity, and depth. So often the background is blurred out to prevent it from competing with the subject. Here the subject almost competes with the background. I really like that swamp.
