Go Sara! A garden shot is tough to get in the winter, but this one captures the right feel for the season.

Snowy Owl

This is a cute little critter. I like the way he seems to be peeking without fully opening his eyes. Too bad about the fence, but it does add to the impact of the image, sort of like an overlay.

Whitewalls

57 Cadiillac? Like the white sidewall look and the wire wheel. That's an unusual frame with this shot.

It's good that you have photoshop. For B&W conversion with basic editing, try dropping saturation to zero, then moving the color sliders and watch how the image changes. It's like using strong filters when shooting B&W film, and can make a huge difference in the way the image looks.
The centered composition, straight lines and being able to see the trees outside the window are strong points in this shot.

It's funny that in the posting thread you would mention "asspect" ratio LOL.
To me, that water looks uncomfortably cold.

Pretty Bird

This is a healthy looking Nicobar Pigeon. I don't find the BG distracting at all either. The focus is just a little soft around the bird's head. If I have time, I manually focus on the eye of the bird when shooting birds. Sometimes they move their head right when you get the shot, and it just looks out of focus. Maybe that is what happened here.
Colors are sweet. Birds are awesome.
