High contrast like this makes it tricky to shoot light colored flowers and to keep the detail in the flowers without "darking out" the leaves. A deep green filter when shooting would bring the leaves up and the flower down in levels, allowing you to keep all the details in the flower without blowing out anywhere in the image. It's an old school trick from the silver and acetic acid days of photography.
This is very good for no processing, SFC. (straight from the camera)

Medium DOF and the right shutter speed to show the action at the bloom mean a lot in this image. Well done.

Shadows

I am seeing a pattern here, but it takes some brain bending to make sense of it. I am guessing that there is something similar to a fence casting the shadow.

There is a nice collection of shapes and textures in this. It looks like someone is renovating inside and has a lot of stuff sitting outside.

I like the little mystery of the head in this one. The composition with the post and cloud is good too.

This has a very "grabby" subject. I like the curves and repeating radials a lot. Exposure is spot on for this too.

Sunrise Panorama

Wow Juli! This is marvelous for an iPhone image. This would be marvelous for a DSLR image. I think that the shape of the strip of sand beyond the reflecting pool is a great compliment to the sky in this shot.

Cool perspective! That's a good lens for this. You can set the brightness down a notch on your LCD when shooting where it's darker, and it will help you to expose correctly. Your eyes adjust to the low ambient lighting, and the images in the LCD look a lot brighter than they will on the monitor. When I shoot late evening or night, I have to do that, or every shot will be under exposed because I have no metering with the older lenses that I use most of the time.

This frog has pretty good camo. He blends right in with the pavement, all bumpy and flat, just like the road.
