very "autumny" I like the warm orange tones, just wish you could have removed the gray one at the bottem there. Other than that, a wonderfully done shot.

Great use of light and focal point.
Your pic really draws me in.
Good job

I like the image and angle. Good lighting too. The colors give me a warm, muted feel though as opposed to a burst, but aside from that, I do like it.

Love the detail in the underside of the leaf

Amazing - a real frozen bubble! I think most took it for a Christmas ornament. Good creative thinking, composition, and use of shallow DOF.
The colors, exposure values, and white balance are all carried out well.
The only thing that is not working for me here is the front blade of grass in front of the bubbble - just a bit distracting. Perhaps if you had shifted the angle a little it would not have been so over-powering. Still, a very good shot.

Nice capture of this hard to kill lily. The 'black' fly adds an element to this in my opinion. Good colors. The shine/reflection slightly detracts, but minor.

Very nice. Left a more detailed comment on the other version.

Nice capture. I like the other version also, but there is a little more detail in the eagle in this. Both however, as you know, have a little 'haze', or grain, but probably due to the pp as you mentioned. The other, wall size, I'm sure looks great. Nice scene and composition. The fact that this was taken in the wild makes it even better in my opinion.
