the upper right corner lighting is realy distracting - a closer crop on the dragon may have helped

This image could win the impressionism challenge - Really nice work here - gave it a 6 during voting but clearly undervoted on it (to used to sharp and contrasty images of DPC).

This is much better - excellent composition and great soft lighting. The light is a little dark but this is SOOOO much better.

You have a great shot here - I took the liberty of doing just a little post processing to show you how a shot can be taken. Please note that I am not very good at this PP myself, but you can get the idea of what photoshop elements can even do in the hands of a hack!

Levels adjustment - brightened image in mid range
Brighness/contrast - increased brightness and contrast slightly
Hue/Saturation - individual channels - increased reds a little, decreased yellow, increased cyan to +50 to bring out eyes.
Sharpened image using Filters--Sharpen --unsharp mask - 85, 0.5,0

Fantastic stuff - amazing how much you have improved your photographic skills since joining DPC - one heck of an improvment on the quality of your macros!

It's funny how your best and worst rated shots both have buns in them....;-)
