First impression:
Lovely looking Peacock. Yes and it is green all over.
What can you do better?
IMO when shooting a bird the details in the feathers must come through. In this case you show it all but there are details missing. Maybe a closer view (more details) of its head with few green feathers in the background or in front would have scored better. Also if you had caught a female bird in front or just something that would make this picture more than just a lovely bird.
I saw a good thread here on DPC yesterday:

The Rematch

First impression:
Much better image. More quality, good focus, better viewing angle and without that noise you added the last time.
What can you do better?
I would have liked to see Winnie's face. You also should have told about in wich challenge the original was. Usually children toys do not score high, but a retake from a toy challenge is another thing.

Here Comes the Sun

First impression:
Good looking stormy clouds. Not a sun coming up but a disappearing sun. The picture is in focus and there is this beautiful red colour but not enough.
What can you do better?
I think what is wrong is how you build this image. To heavy on one side while there is nothing on the other. To bright on one side and to dark on the other. You could IMO have just zoomed in on the red sky at the horizon.
I hope there will be no plaque on my house for I gave this picture only 4.

Humble Homestead

First impression:
Great angle/perspective, good focus and lighting.
What can you do better?
Maybe a slight rotation to let the house stand upright and the distance leveled.
You have probably that low score because the voters wanted to see modern architecture. The commenters loved it though.

When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade

First impression:
Good focus and a funny title. Looks like everything is floating in the air!
What can you do better?
If things were to look like they were floating in the air, you could have arranged the plate more skewed but if it was not, you should have used similar plates and shoot with a different angle so that the plates do not look like they are not leveled the same way.
There is to much light on the white of the lemons. I have had that problem too.

This is one of my top three in this challenge, if not "the" best. I love the compositional elements, the texture of the concrete and the sky; perhaps less book in the shot? whatever- you have captured what could be a book cover or advertisement for a spa or vacation. nice shot, good luck.

Hot Enough

First impression:
Funny, Good Focus and bright and colourful picture.
What can you do better?
I think that a different angle would have given this more. Maybe bend your knees a bit. The lines are good to follow to the subject but try also to use more the rules of thirds.
