Superb. Somewhat OOB but I do get the feel (hopefully correctly) that this was shot for, not shoehorned.

Great dream sequence with wonderful colour and lighting.

There's a lovely feel to this one, and I like how transparent the poppy is in the light, but I really, really, really love the color one you included as a thumbnail. A favorite!

Haha! I thought of something similar for the stop action. I like your focus on the snail's head and the path

This is really lovely, but I think I do prefer the coloured shot.

Beautiful picture. I especially love the texture of the grasses around this poppy, fading between completely out of focus and in focus.
I do think the lighting on the flower might be a bit too bright. Slightly softer lighting (not too much of course, to not lose the contrast) and maybe zooming in a tad more, would give the flower a greater impact.
Great job.

The b/w version has a wonderful painterly quality about it, I think you should do more like this.
