Nice photo, even if the focus is a bit soft. You lose points because the viewpoint is not unusual enough!

I think this needs more depth of field, the feathers on the bird's chest and neck are not as sharp as they could be

Lovely, well focused picture of a hawk. To me, it doesn't really show an unusual viewpoint. Also, to me, I would have liked the picture better without such a close crop - it looks like this poor bird has it's wings chopped off.

For me the yellow and the teal green background really make this a rich/strong shot. Great going!

beautiful peregrine. Did you try a bit more contrast to bring out the nice barring on the breast.

Comment by ElGordo:
I really like your bird photo, but there seems to be a loss of detail in the feathers around the neck. Did you use a noise reduction filter? If so, try selecting just the background for noise reduction and leave the subject areas with greater detail. Jpeg compression can also make an image look 'muddy' by smearing out fine details, especially when the compression process is repeated several times.

A nice idea for a positive habit. I like the color of the soap and the skin textures. You captured the bubbles really well, but I think it's a little overexposed, a slightly lower light level or different exposure length would help. A little more context within the frame of running water or a sink or faucet would help to complete the composition well.
