Great job. I sure hope Mr. Rudnicki has another source of income, huh? I love photos like this.

Blacksmith should have been in the centre. Blacksmith hates you.

Comment by Artifacts:
Leading lines or curves generally have two purposes. One is to lead the viewer into the scene. The other is to lead you toward the main subject. It is most effective if they come in from the lower left because that is the natural direction humans visually scan a picture from so are easiest to pick up.

Your have nice lines leading to the boater but not to the skyline that takes up most of the frame.

I'm commenting on this after the debate on whether we should have titles or not. I looked at this image before the title and here's what I saw:

Here we have a young couple oblivious to the rest of the world and the waterfall at this precise moment in time. In love or in lust they are more interested in the beauty of each other than in that of nature. Where might that love/lust lead? The couple walking behind them with their two children are exactly where that love may lead them - to marriage, to children. This married couple were once the couple who couldn't keep their hands off one another. Is the married man remembering that? Is he thinking about the days when he and his wife were all over each other before the kids came? OR is he simply admiring a young woman's figure whilst his wife's not looking?
The monk to me represents a man who has given up the pleasures of a relationship with a woman in favour of dedicating his life to his spiritual beliefs. He will perhaps never feel those emotions and passion for another that the young couple feel. He will not know the joy of raising a family together like the older couple. He also represents to me the institution of religion that is the step that comes between the young couple and the older couple - ie marriage.
The young children may one day be where the young couple are, and the whole cycle - dating, marriage, children begins again for a new couple/generation. Just like the water creatng the backdrop in this image it is cyclical.

the thing which the bird is standing on is kind of distracting, i would include the whole thing. Also, its usually better to put more space in front of the subject then behind it, puts the persons attention on the face of your subject.

Sharp, good colours on the bird. Not very good composition though.

Good colors, nice composition, good DOF. There is a little glare on the bird bath at the lower right which is slightly distracting. Feathers on the bird look very nice, as does the eye.

Crisp shot. The copper feeder seems more focused than the bird.
