I like the simplicity of the composition and the feeling that it evokes very much. I am less convinced with the post-processing. In particular there is a definite halo around the tip of the leaf segment pointing to the upper left, and the water looks somehow 'wrong' - not very good at articulating myself - sorry!

Very pretty - almost Bambi like! The soft focus combined with the luminous effect was a good choice.

Yummy!

On a purely subjective and personal level, I just don't find photos of children eating appealling in any way. If I cover over the hand spoon and mouth you have a lovely portrait, but as soon as I see the rest it changes my view dramatically. I do, though look forward to more photos of the same model with the same style of processing.

An interesting find, and the sepia treatment suits the subject and title. i do find the bright spot on the upper centre barrel rather distracting, though.

Looks like a visit to the underworld! The colours are good, and I like the tilted composition.

Mocking Bird

Super photo of a bird in its natural environment, with a background that allows the bird to stand out well. It may be worth slightly subduing the bright spot behind the bird's head.

An interesting subject with bags of potential for an entire series of photographs! The border suits the photo well, drawing the eye in. I suspect this was taken in harsh light, as the shadows are quite short but very dark - it might be interesting to retake at different times of the day, if thta is a possibility. Compositionally, the sideways on truck acts as something of a barrier - it may have been preferrable to take the photo with the truck at more of an angle, which would allow for the viewers eye to be led into the photo more.

The lone tree with its winter bareness looks wonderful against the twilight blue sky. I do wonder why you included quite so much foreground; for me it adds little to the composition. Did you consider taking the photo from a more distant viewpoint? The inclusion of a little more sky at the top would give the tree a bit more space and prevent the composition feeling cramped.

Sleepy Hollow

I like the dark and gothic feel to this and the selective desat works well. I do feel that the model looks a little self-consciously awkward, and I would have preferred a less centered composition - others may prefer it as it is.

The figure gazing into the distance in this almost surreal landscape works well and the minimalist like composition (unusual in landscapes)lends itself well to your title. As a personal preference, though, I would prefer that the camera was not visible as it adds just a little clutter and thus diminishes the impact slightly.
