I'm very accepting of minimalist shots with tons of negative space normally, but I can't help but feel like is this somewhat lazy, both in terms of subject and composition. The centered comp doesn't work here, for me, and giving more context of the flying bird might have greatly strengthened things, for me anyway.

Lovely contrast and subject separation, yet you managed to keep the background nice and recognizable. Great shot.

A nice take for the challenge of a very cliche subject matter. You did well with your subject and the idea behind your shot, but I feel like if you were seeing zebras, there were many other opportunities at your disposal, as well.

About their nose! This photo really drives home the cross eyed nature of Siamese, but is a pretty nice cat photo, all considering.

Great timing, but extremely harsh lighting from the onboard flash and potential exposure issues.

Very different approach to equine photography, and I sorta like that in and of itself. I'd wonder if this might be visually more abstract if you had stopped down in order to keep clarity in the background. Then, you would have two parts of a horse you don't often see photographed along with the background, further complicating the scene. This might not fare well here on DPC, but I think it might be an interesting venture as an abstract.

Seems as though the whites are a bit overexposed, maybe bring down the highlights a tad, particularly given the rules. I'd also like to include the whole tail and move the crop over to the left a bit.

Quite the sly disgruntled look you've got going on here. The eyes are done very well.

As I said, I did remember this off the top of my head, so it stuck in there after looking at it and it also struck me a bit when I saw it, but not enough to originally make me comment.
I like all the texture you've got going on, and the light on the leafy bits is really quite nice, as it sculpts them very well. I like how three dimensional the whole thing feels. I also like how the petals sorta blend together, they look much more ephemeral in comparison to the green parts. Your choice to go with a photo of a flower that is largely not flower is interesting, but I like it. It's nice to see flowers from ways we don't normally. It's a very nicely done floral shot, in my mind.
