Good shot! You even have good detail in the snow in this. We do not have these in this part of the country, so I find this shot even more interesting.

This is way cool! I didn't know that they had gators in Co. I like the eye level view in this shot. The super wide format works good for this view too, with the long nose.

The ground level point of view makes this shot a lot stronger than it would have otherwise been. The wet grass and front paws, and the one sprig of plant in the BG also add a lot to making the photo engaging to view.

What beautiful feathers on that bird. It's difficult to shoot this sort of shot with one hand and not shake the camera. I think that I would have tried to turn so that the bird would be more in front of the darker tree instead of the bright background.
I am wondering if you used fill flash? If you did, it's just the right amount for the shot. The exposure for the bird is right on, and the highlight in the eye is good too.

I like the action in this shot. It's a very good portrait in a working environment.

First, this is a very good shot of the bird and the background combo. I like the way the texture in the rock matches the lines of the birds body.
I think that this bird may be an insect eater, and the reason is because of it's big eyes, which make me think that it flies in twilight or at night.
It's a beautiful bird, and looks somewhat like an American bird, the kestrel.

The centered composition adds to the oriental look of this shot. I like your processing to bring out the lettering on the stones.

I feel that this didn't score well because it is sort of "busy" looking. There seems to be an ambiguous point where the images need to be very simple, with one central subject and focus point, or the other way, a very broad landscape sort of thing in order to have the "it" factor. The ones in between, no matter how beautiful, seem to just not get the big votes.
Personally, I can see what you were after here, and I do like the shot for it's natural shapes and colors. Wild flowers of any type are one of the things that I enjoy seeing anytime. It looks like a shot that I would shoot for myself.

I could tell that this one was a young one by the smoothness of it's nose. There are a lot of these around this area too.
