Perfectly done. Would make a good stock shot. My only nitpick would be to have the sun a little less centered. Still very good.

Beautiful vantage point and an interesting shot. I love the shadows and sunshine. You don't have to have gorgeous sunny weather for the best shots, and this one proves it. Lovely.

Nice shot. I like the tones and the composition, but it's a shame about the halo thing around the sun..

Something about this shot is calling for a really dramatic and daring crop (pull right in and center it) and a bold dark thick border to make the colors pop. Its a neat flower picture, but it lacks a impact as it is. Nice capture of the colors, and an interesting composition for the flowers.

I like this one even better than your entry. Something about the composition and the facial expression wich is very nice.

great horned owl

Comment by Louis:
In response to your request for comment: This is overall a lovely photograph, with nice colour to it. I understand that someone is holding this animal, but I think the orientation should be portrait as opposed to landscape; this way, you could have filled the entire frame with the owl's body, and gotten more of him in the shot, even including the keeper, which I think would have added great interest. In the orientation you chose, there's a bit too much of the quite bright background. As the background also contains vertical lines, and the animal is more or less vertical, this creates for me a bit of a "stretching" of the image horizontally that detracts somewhat.

I think you may have oversharpened things a bit, because detail is lost in the feathers of the bird, making it look almost grainy in some spots. Overall, though, a neat picture.

I'm usually not a fan of flower photos, but this one caught my eye because of it tonal range and capture. Very nice job catching the hues in this pink.
