Great color, high key, soft focus, and vignette. It all combines to really capture the bride and the dreamlike sense of joy on the big day.

Great wildlife candid. The short DOF removes a lot of the ripples and other surface detail of the water, which brings more focus onto the animal, but makes it seem a bit unnatural for such a natural image. The colors are wonderfully vivid.

Sunset at Castle Hill

Incredible colors in this photo, and the composition is great. The distant horizon, reaching tower, and grass texture add so much to this image. Looks like a postcard.

Nice colors, attractive model. The highlights in her hair are somewhat distracting, and the image looks too smooth (perhaps a byproduct of NeatImage?) ... all of the detail on her irises is gone, which, for a photo so focused on her eyes, makes it lose some appeal.

Nice cloud and sunset shot... the texture on the clouds is great. It appears that you wanted to capture the symmetry of the reflection here... either moving the horizon up to the center to enforce the symmetry, or down a bit to get rid of the darker area at the bottom (and bring it down onto a thirds line) might give it a bit more visual appeal.

Attractive subject, great lighting and focus for a potrait. The model's skin looks a bit spotty, so perhaps extending the soft focus to include more of her face, tweaking the lighting a bit, or perhaps finding an appropriate filter while taking the photo would serve to smooth her skin even more.

Good choice of subject, lighting is appropriate, exposure is well done. The soft focus effect doesn't add much here, though. With the symmetry of the trio, a more centered composition would have put more emphasis on the subjects.

Stellar. The subject's expression is priceless, the capture of the solitary bubble, the clarity of focus and perfect DOF keep the girl in sharp focus while maintaining clarity of the reflections in the bubble. The colors and soft focus combine to add a nostalgic feel to an already perfect capture.

The contrast on this is great, gives it a very gritty feel. The tree in the upper right is confusing, especially with the lights, and is a bit distracting, but helps to balance out the composition. The color cast on it is perfect.

The long exposure and the colors work perfectly here. The low light levels, though, seem to have introduced some color noise in the water and in the reflections off of some of the rocks. The image also seems somewhat oversharpened.
