A very nice composition, maybe just a tad to much light .....

They kind of look like bacon bits. Good use of DOF, the eye is immediately drawn into the cup. Some might have complained about the china pattern being too busy or distracting, but here I find it adds some interest and color to the shot. Good concept.

Ahh this is cool. I love the framing and the lighting is fantastic. Even though this color version looks great you might try looking at this in black/white also. I just pulled this in PS and applied a gradient map and it looked pretty damn good to me although you do lose that cool looking red glow on the boy. However, you could go the selective desaturation route.

I like the action here. Good cropping too. You know this might work very well as a black and white image.

I like the tonal range here. It has good detail in all areas. This might sound silly but I'd go ahead and move that bird in the top left corner and place him more in the middle where he can be seen more easily. It might an add an extra touch to an already good image.

Very nice use of DOF. :) The lighting you've used gives a very "soft" feel to the cup and plate - very nice.
