Now that is 'in your face'! Personally, I would prefer a slightly deeper dof - just too shallow for me, but I am sure that there will be others who disagree.

Opened this, said aloud, 'that's lovely'! I would maybe like just a little more detail in the flowers, as there is in the leaves, but overall, I like this very much.

Wow! Love the incredible detail, the recognisable, the abstract, the near symmetry - pretty cool, Clive!

Robin taking a bath

That's not a robin (says she from Europe ;P)! Cute shot - a slight shame the tree trunk is just where it is - maybe next time try from a slightly different angle?

Young Bulls

An interesting scenario, completely alien to me. The light was definitely against you, but sometimes the scene is too good to miss. That said, there is a degree of softness that does hurt. Given the softness, either through maxing out your telephoto length or by cropping in tight to a wider image, I wonder if a wider image, showing the whole of the bulls, and a bit of environmental context might have been a better choice.

A tad over-exposed, means that the subject is rather lost, and the photo becomes more about the spectators than the action.

LA Noir

The shadow image seems to give the appearance of the vehicle travelling backwards - a bit weird, and once I saw it, it dominates the image for me.

Blue Heron at Sunset

A super portrait, absolutely tack-sharp, good textural detail, and very effective against the oof background and foreground. I wouldn't want every wildlife photo I see to be like this, as generally I do like to get a stronger sense of context, but I do really like the other-worldly feel of this particular photograph.
