Nice tilt, love the bits of grass poking through the snow. Fun mix of colors and textures.

You definitely brought out the downy in this Downy - he looks so touchable and soft, and the pastels in the background just heighten this effect. You married the texture very well, I think.

SOME pig, glad to hear he has a promising future that doesn't involve cutlery! He looks a bit like he's looking forward to his destiny...

Love how the natural lighting brings out some lovely highlights in these beautiful irish wolfhounds fur. Great focus with nice sharp details seen. I would have loved to have had the eye more visible to make it even more visually appealing- through the hair you can see some gleam from natural lighting that you may have even captured a 'catchlight' if the eye was much more visible. I like the backdrop of the woods which really complements the dog. One other point I wish to make is that I think you could crop the photo even closer to bring us closer to observing the beauty of your pet (1/5 off of the left side such that it is more of a head shot).

Processing is well-suited to the subject - very nice. Old houses are definitely far more interesting for photos.

Just a seagull but what a fantastic image it is though. Wow. That Sigma lens is impressive. I don't see why this didn't finish near the top seeing another bird finished third and that bird was sitting on a bird post in a zoo, most likely. Actually capturing this crispness and focus on a moving subject is astonishing and spectacular. Congrats on a great image.
