I really love this picture. It's one of my favorites while voting so far. Very strong and I love the composition, colour of light, etc. My only comment (more for future reference) is that it seems very over-sharpened on my monitor (which has medium contrast). You may be using a monitor that has low contrast that doesn't show the sharpening as much. Your image appears to already be pretty sharp so you probably don't need to do as much sharpening. If you have photoshop, try the "unsharp" mask filter. Despite the name, it's one of the more elegant sharpening tools.

I'm not sure if this was cropped and then enlarged, but it's very pixelated and heavily noisy, which distracts from the nice clean line you have here. The one wheel being turned out also challenges the symmetry. It's an interesting angle for a shot though and good job with composition.

I'm not sure the filter/PS effect you applied on this works. I think the image is actually very strong without needing the effect (usually effects mask flaws and this appears to be flawless).. However, it's still a beautiful portrait of two very cute little guys!

INCREDIBLE! I love that this is an angle I rarely see in a macro shot of a bee!!! Thanks for changing perspectives and giving us something a little different. Composition works really well too!

Love this - the crop works really well and it has a really great mood to it. Love the catch lights in the eye. Just a suggestion - I'd love to see this a tiny bit more sharp. I can tell it is a sharp image... but JPEGs always lose their sharpness when res'd down to 640 pixels. A bit of an unsharp mask would bring back some of the contrast that was probably in the original. 9

Great picture - strong on action. Well done. I am giving it a 10 based on the photography. However, I can't pass on this photo without saying that I strongly urge you to emphasize with the animal in this scene and perhaps read, even just a little bit, about the scientific evidence that animals have the same range of emotions as humans. Cruelty for entertainment is not a human right.

I love this scene... and good job at putting something in the front to anchor the scene. ONe suggestion for future... try getting down at eye level with the waves or rocks/sand - because the person is further away the perspective will show that you are at eye leve with the human too. Right now it looks too much like hte camera is looking down at the scene.

The vignetting works... but I'd suggest lowering the opacity so you can still see some details around the corner. This image appears to lack contast, even though I can see clear highlights and shadows. I'm wondering if maybe it just needs a boost in sharpness... when you res down an image you'll lose sharpenss (always happens).. the best tool is unsharp mask in Photoshop or any kind of sharpening tool you can find.

Unfortunatley this is too blurry. I'd suggest using shutter priority instead of regular "P" or "A" - set shutter to a minimum of 125th sec with a moving object or higher. Turn up the ISO if needed and sacrifice grain for sharpness. Also, thre is not enough interst in the side of the dog or the tail... I'd suggest waiting to snap when the dog is facing the camera or only take a pcture from the side/tail view if something extremely interesting is going on back there. The best wildlife/nature/animal/human shots have the eyes as a main interest... again, unless something else is going on. If you want intentional blur, then practice a technique called panning. Slow your shutter and follow/track the animal with your lens so the animal almost appears in focus, while the background is out of focus/shows the blur.
