Hey, that's very pretty, Julianne. Love the various greens. I think your skill has hit the limits of your camera. :)

can't tell what your subject is here; lily pads could take some saturation and then maybe they'd be emnphasized better

Wow, what a beauty this is! On a recent trip to NC I learned about the white squirrels thought to be only located in/surrounding the town of Brevard (Brevard County). Beautiful creatures - I was a tad disappointed in not spotting one. You are very lucky to have seen one as well as wonderfully capture this beauty on 'film'. Side note I have to ask: does this mean one can see them down here in S. Florida?!?!?!

Love the lovely green hues seen on the butterfly and the leaf it rests on. Very nice sharp detail on the wings and the textures of the leaf. I like how the DOF is shallow and that it has a bokeh look background for the butterfly to pop off of.

It makes me feel like I'm standing on the beach watching the incoming rain and boat. Great minimalist approach.

Whiskers

Wow, I think you got a little robbed scorewise on this one, Julianne! I suspect you got hurt due to some grain in the photo. I've discovered that using a soft paintbrush at about 25% opacity to paint over grainy areas really does the trick - for example in the tiger's mouth, on his teeth, in his eyes, and on his nose. It gives a sleek, silky looks without looking fake. I also think you may have cropped just a little bit tightly on this one - I wish there was some negative space around his whiskers.

I think if you would have made the rain swells a little darker you would have nailed the shot. They kind of get lost. Nevertheless wonderful idea for the challenge.
