hi there from the CC Club :)
I really think this shot works very well for the fauna challenge .. definitly an animal in it's natural state :)
the composition and placement of the bird works well with the background and rock on the upper left in the water ... i would have liked to see a little more DOF beyond the bird .. but with shots like these i know that's kinda difficult. The colors captured here pretty good ... looks like it was shot in the highest part of the day .. over all great fauna shot! Keep up the great work!

nice sunset. the bike seems to be in a strange or unnatural position (like its a great sunset, i'll stick a bike in it). it would have been more powerful to have the sunset offset by a silhouette of someone biking by.

very interesting take on the challenge. I like the sunset and usiing the handle bars of the bike, i think it can be a bit better if you got more of the bike in the image. Good work

The boarder on this shot is overpowering. I'm not sure why the strawberry shot is overlapping the other two. The right side shot comes off dark and drab (which doesn't seem fitting to the subject). And these images don't really seem to flow from one to the next, with the strawberrys shot especially standing out as not really fiting into the sequence (it seems different in style and in tone).
