This is a nicely balanced shot a little bit of PP would improve it heaps :)

This grass is so lovely! I so like the cool blue shady feel of the image offset by the splash of sunny gold in the distance!

I think this is quite beautiful, and that little splash of color in the back complements it.

Really cool colors - that splash of yellow in the background makes the shot!

I'm not a shallow DOF fan, and would've liked to see a bit more of the foreground in focus. The contrast between the white plants in the foreground in shadow, and the yellow leaves brightly lit in the background is very nice.

I like the wakes and the texture on the water. The ducks are a bit dark, but I'm not sure that isn't a positive in this shot.

Geese

Talk about a tough shot - to get good exposure on the geese, and not have them be black blobs, the wing positions of each goose, etc. You've got a nice, pleasing light, and an absolutely clean background. Only the one central goose has wing positioned so it connects with the head, making an unusual profile. If you've got enough megapixels to work with, you might try various crops of a single goose - the lead goose and the one behind and below might make good solo shots.

Plant Thing? I'd say it's some kind of pampas grass - lots of it here in Japan at the moment, where it's called susuki.

Moon

Looks like you've got "shooting the moon" down very nicely. I might try recropping this to better fit the rule of thirds. To my eye, there's a little too much blue to the right of the moon.
