It's certainly debatable, but I would actually consider this to be rule of thirds composition, as my gaze is led up to her eyes, which are in a ROT area. I'm not dinging my vote however, as these composition rules are very subject to personal interpretation Very cute pic, regardless.

Sorry, I just spent all my money on the beer that the frogs were selling. Come around again after payday, but drop the overdone accent.

Focus does not seem to be quite spot on where it needs to be, (maybe it just could use a touch of sharpening in the right places?) but otherwise a very cute candid portrait.

I'm sure glad that you knew where to find the men's room in this place! I was getting desperate.

A bit soft and grainy, but otherwise an interesting shot of this bird. Is it a variety of Owl?

Meets the challenge, but to be honest, it's not terribly interesting. I don't really have any suggestions that could help it either.

A Borrowed Palette

Seems very grainy, but I'm not sure if it was meant as an intentional look or is just ISO noise.

I gave it a 6, but did feel it was a little dark.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

This one didn't come up for me in voting, or I'd tell you what I gave it. I would have guessed this good for a 5.25-5.5. The average of just over 5.0 seems a bit harsh for this. Looks like an almost perfectly even vote breakdown. Too many 5's and everything else nearly canceled out.

I can see some possible issues that held it down (Not looking at other comments until I leave my own):

-waterline is centered top to bottom, resulting in a static composition. Perhaps crop about 15-20% off the bottom, to just under the clump of grass on the left. For me that would make the composition flow a little easier.

-Colors are good, but perhaps too busy. No one element seems to stand out from the others.

Hope that helps some. Unfortunately, it is a classic 5. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing really stands out about it either. These are the hardest ones to comment on.

Added: Looks like my feedback matches up fairly well with the others.
