What I like:
- The colors and framing of this shot are wonderful.

What I don't like:
- the distortion from the zoom effect (I'm guessing)

Overall: feels a bit like stock art, but as stock art I think it would be better without the distortion.

What I like:
The idea of this shot is quirky.

What I don't like:
- Framing: bottom left has mud/ road that is distracting; background is distracting.
- Exposure is off/ details of the "spoilers" are lost/ too dark

Overall: Want more detail of the pooh! (Can't believe I just typed that :P )

What I like:
- Excellent framing

What I don't like:
- Use of HDR makes the trees look fake
- low saturation of the bricks.

Overall: Framed beautifully, but I'm not a big fan of the HDR here. I would have liked the HDR more if the detail of the bricks/ color of bricks had come through more.

Autumn Lawn

By no fault of your own, this is the third shot I've seen on the same theme. So my comments feel a bit recycled. That said, I do like this shot best of the three "Dying leaves/ Growing grass" shots I've seen so far.

What I like:
- the grass, it looks almost like a painting. Very abstract. I would have loved it if the man wasn't in the frame, lol. This is mainly because the pattern of the grass has so much great visual appeal and the man breaks that (which I think was your point by the title.)

What I didn't like:
- That the man's top half is chopped out of frame
- His placement in top right is unsettling (which I think was on purpose, so I guess this comment could be considered an overall positive.)

Overall: unsettling shot.

What I like:
- Nicely framed.

What I don't like:
- Wish f/stop had been higher for more DOF (foreground more in focus). This would have the added bonus of slowing shutter speed for more flow of the water.
- lighting is a bit low on the man's face (would have used a reflector- if he was posing for the shot...)

Overall: nice shot, wish flowers were in focus/ better lighting on face.

What I like: the title made me laugh.

What I don't like:
- I'm having a hard time putting my finger on what seems off with this picture for me. I guess it comes down to the subject of the photo (the dead grass and snow) just aren't that visually interesting.
- I don't like how the tops of the trees were clipped out of the shot.

Overall: good exposure to capture both the lights and darks in this shot. Did you use HDR?

Weeds Rule

Comment:
What I like:
- Framing
- focus/ DOF

What I don't like:
- The color of the flowers seems off. Not sure if they are suppose to be yellow or white. As is, they match the background bokeh color a bit too closely and kind of fad into it.

Overall: perhaps this would have been a better shot with use of a reflector to bounce some more light onto the flowers... Although I've never used reflectors on something so close to the ground before... Perhaps a small hand mirror with a coating of hair spray or a thin sheet of wax paper over it would have done the trick.
