Very simple. The armband is distracting and stops you eye from flowing across the photo.

struggling to find a link to hope. Yes I understand that hoping to survive has a link, but its pushing it a bit.

The focus appears a little off, but incredible shot of a still hummingbird. You must be very patient or very lucky.

I think having the model rotate a bit and centering a little more would have made this pic... Nice lighting and good balance

This was a good idea. I find it pretty dark though. The band on the arm unbalances the photo to me.

Strong back muscles here.

This doesn't do much for me as a photo - the colors are pointless to me, i can't understand why it should have a purple hue to it. some photos work ell with it, but a back doesn't seem to cut the mustard.

Also the pose and location isn't very dramatic - being flat on is kind of depth less and boring.

I would suggest rotating 45 degrees next time, and casting some shadows and depth.

Great color but a little too dark. You lose a lot of the definition without more contrast.
