La Petite Fille

I think you could have improved this image by opening up the aperture to blur the building in the background. The building competes with your subject for attention, particularly due to the closeness in colors (i.e., on the elephant and its canopy) and sharpness between the two.

Great Grandmother's Japanese Maple

Nice idea, but imho photo is too small and the tree trunk in the background interferes with the forms of the maple branches in the foreground. Maybe if you moved a bit to the right that tree trunk would disappear, or if you opened the f-stop up wide you could have blurred it out of existence.

Jon Bon Jovi - Legend

It's an ok snapshot and a nice keepsake of the concert, but imho as a standalone photo its somewhat lacking, particularly in this challenge. You can barely see the performer's face, and the colors are kind of washed out. You might try cropping out some of the sky above his head, and cropping the shot at the elbow instead of the wrist to eliminate the distracting trees in the background.

Sorry, this just looked like a snapshot to me. Try getting lower, and shooting your subject from "dog level" -- lay down on the carpet and put your camera at the same level as the dog's head; you'll be amazed at the difference.

Now THIS is the way to use selective color ... for a reason. Nice job.
