Nicely done Jimmy! Love this one. If I may suggest locating the actual "fall" on the left thirds i think this would be even stronger ;)

There seems to be some color artifacting or aberations on the field color on the upper portion of this image. While this is a far better subject than the previous butterfly, the background isn't doing it justice. The blown highlights on the wings is a tad distracting. However, the touch of pink really makes this unique and quite lovely. I would clone out the bud on the right.

This is beautiful... though the moss does seem a tad oversharp. Not normally one for photoshop filters, this would look good with a soft focus, one of those fairyland feels? Hmm... Nice though! No doubt :)

Hmm...I didn't even notice the face ahaha. I wouldn't have thought it's two images, but now that you say it, I see it! At first, I just really liked the photo for its dark mood. I'd almost say you should crop out the right-most tree and have this as a vertical shot (to emphasize the vertical lines of the trees). It might draw more focus to the face-tree, too. Very nice!

Lovely. I've not seen one in black and white and this puts a whole new spin on the proverbial dragonfly!! The subtle changes from gray to charcoal to black - NICE!
