Very nice, love the color and how the flower color complements the bird, the angle of the fence adds to the image, the DOF is just where it needs to be. I wish I could have taken it.

But, you asked for a critique. I would have liked to have the bird closer to the rule of thirds point. Visually it is a little too high and a little too far to the right for me....but I am quibbling. This is a wonderful photo.

Another great image, to me the linear arrangement doesn't ring my bell as much as the other images of yours that I have viewed. The focus seems to be just a bit soft on this one as well but that count be my eyes or monitor

I love gannets! I really like this photo. Where I can go to view gannets is just a huge rock (Cape St. Mary's Seabird Sanctuary in Newfoundland) and it doens't have any pretty flowers around like here. I like that the flowers are out of focus in the foreground, it's like we're peeking into a lovers nest.

Great image, great focus, great color....technically a wonderful image.

IMO, having the bird in the air does not add to the image. You don't get the bird's eyes and the bird is sort of distorted in flight.

Again, very nice, this one too has the partial birds...I don't know how you avoid that but it does stand between the perfect 10 and only an 8.

The focus on the love birds seems just a tad soft in this one and there is probably just a bit of over exposure on the right bird.

Wonderful, great color, great DOF, great focus

You might have moved a little to the left to exclude the bird rear end on the right and capture more of the birds on the left moving the "love birds" into the rule of thirds spot, but overall a beautiful image.
