When the World is in Chaos, Turn to the Simple Things in Life

Too digital art for me... the artifacting around your selection looks very clumsy. Composition and crop don't work for me. Perhaps a tighter crop to the top and left of your flower would have helped. Flower isn't sharp enough.

An interesting shot, doesn't say Chaos to me personally, but maybe it does if you are a flower arranger! Nice and crisp, although the shallow dof doesn't seem deliberate enough here. Good colours and saturation. Effective background.

Doesn't really say chaos to me... bit too much detail for the eye to take in though. I feel that the bird which is quite interesting should be the point of focus, but this is not clear.

Bird silhouette

Nice shot, effective exposure. Very effective dof. Some great textures in here. Not 100% sure about the crop, the ratio of foreground to background seems a little off. I'd have liked more background I think.

Nice character shot, nice and sharp, effective dof. Some great textures. Composition works well. Tricky shot to expose for, nicely handled here. Not entirely sure about your border, I think a better one could have bumped this up a mark for me.

Evening In March

Beautiful sunset. I'd have made everything other than a sky a complete silhouette though, and spot edited out those lights. NeatImage would have helped the slight noise levels as well.

Wonderful, very sharp, good dof. Great colours, very effective composition. Spot on.

Radiance At The Close of the Day

Interesting sunset, a nice assortment of colours. The composition seems a bit haphazard though, I'd have looked for some strong shapes to silhouette and expoited rule of thirds.

I've been experimenting with photos like this... IMO you can get pretty close to this with 35mm and no Photoshop. Shame that people don't realise how creative they can get with their cameras and light. Well done.

Nice and sharp (perhaps only ever so slightly oversharpened), nicely blurred background. I'd have been tempted to apply NeatImage just to the background. However, you have chosen to centre your subject in the frame. This tends not to work to well with animals, as the point of focus is always the eyes, and here the eye looks as if it has not been placed at a deliberate point within the frame. I would have centred the eye, which would also have given the eagle some negative space to look into. Shame some of the white of the eagle's head has been cropped off. I think you could have brought out more highlight detail in PS.
