Nice macro, but way too much JPEG compression for a shot with so much detail. With a 97k file size, you had a lot more overhead and could have avoided a slightly grainy look to this.

Whoa, zooming! This is fun, but I don't get the feeling that it's particularly puzzling. I like the colors and all though.

A little too messy but definitely puzzled

Taken from a slightly different direction, the backlighting would have been delightful. This is great and tells a bit of a story...

I liked this shot very much even though it wasn't a classic portrait, and gave it a 7.

Not really a portrait.
Here is the wikipedia definition:
A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.

I like the picture composition in that the dog in nicely placed in the intersection of the 1/3 lines in the bottom right of the picture, however the cropping of the hunter turns this photo into a snapshot.
The end of the toes are cropped off, the gun is cropped, and the flourescent colour of the vest draws your attention from the actual subject.
If the hunter was in say green, and in the background rather than the foreground then I think this picture could have done better.

Looks like my dog (just younger). The things gotten out of our yard almost every day for the last two weeks (she's now chained in the yard). *pout* She climbs the fence (she doesn't jump, she climbs).
