I hope you're not a lifeguard, coz you must be racking up a pretty poor record of deaths due to drowning.

"A Mote in Gods Eye"

Thw scene is appealing, but I don't think you've brought much to the table here. I get the feeling that anyone standing at this site would have achieved the same result.

In order to make this more special and 'designed' I would have used a more dramatic viewpoint to emphasis the barren and jagged landscape (low down with some rocks in the foreground). Your composition is a 50/50 split which anaesthetises the image further. As the sky is quite plain I would have grabbed much more of the foreground or soomed in to to the interesting, well lit stuff.

Black And White Crocus

Excellent viewpoint (looked like an oyster at thumb level) - very unusual. Composition is not quite there for me though. I'd like to see perfect symmetry or total offset, but this is between the two. A slightly deeper DOF would have rounded it off nicely getting the tip of the stamen in focus too. The grain is OK for me.

Sun Set on the Range

Sky is a bit overcooked and 'alien' here, but it's a good photo with some clearly excellent light. I'm not sure what else you have brought to the shot though apart from presenting the scene in front of you.

If you had crouched down really low, the horses would have punctuated the horizon line and you could have added dynamics with some grass blades and a massive DOF.

Bridge under troubled sky

You are leaning on your scene to deliver the interest in this shot and brought little to it photographically. You could have shot through the railings, close to the water, but instead you've shot it at eye level which removes any dynamism from the comp.

It's quite overexposed too, so I'd recommend a polarizer for this kind of shot.

What an amazing head dress.

Your shot is good and you've chosen a good viewpoint which separates it from the snapshot brigade. It's a bit of a shame that you've cropped any of it though.

Great lighting and processing - and love the subdued tones. As far as the subject goes, then this is a decent [self?] portrait, but it doesn't tell me a lot about the person, which I think is what makes a really good portrait - just something that adds an elelment of surprise or interest. If this guy was wearing an iPod or something it would tell me at least what sort of interests he has.

A bug in the flower

Comment:
I don't remember seeing a beetle feeding like this - interesting. Your shot suffers from poor focus though, so I'd stop down to around f8 and decrease your shutter speed. If you then focus on the back of the flower you would achieve a much deeper depth of field.

Very good composition.
