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
by Kimmymac

Comment:
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.

It's an interesting contrast, with the quiet looking canals and pasture/ farm land in front of the busy docks with their big cargo cranes and activity. It looks sort of like a shot through the window of a train while in motion for some reason. I see you used your P&S. Those little cams are one of the better, or at least, most useful things produced by todays technology.

This is good stuff! Somehow this seems somewhere between ZZ Topp, and Blues Brothers. Nicely processed too. The strong contrast gives it a B&W look, only with color.
BTW, it probably had a "straight eight" in it for power.

Snow Sculpture

Snowmen on steroids! What a "cool" thing to do. It's nice that you used a low angle to isolate the sculpture from the background clutter.

Engine 306

This is a nice dash of color in an otherwise ordinary landscape. The nearest train line from here is about 15 miles, and I miss hearing the horns and the throb of the engines. It brings back memories of my young teens, when I would ride my bike to the train station in my hometown after school to watch the action, and see the telegraph operator at the station at work.

This critter looks so graceful underwater. This image certainly shows off the way that those big legs are built for power. Exposure is just right to get the fur to look so good.
