Really solid abstract. I like the grain and the shadows are terrific. Good job. 7 (Though if you cropped out about an inch at the top this would become a little more powerful (and get you an eight from me).

Nurture

Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I would say this is a lucky shot - lucky to be there, lucky to see this. But I'm a firm believer that you make your own luck (plus this shot is technically perfect). Perhaps my favourite thing about this image is the way a fully grown penguin serves as the backdrop for the parental penguin, while the brown babies provide the background for the baby. That division is highly successful in my book. A well deserved 10. I'll eat my hat if this doesn't end up in the 7s somewhere!.

SOFT beauty

Comment:
Certainly is soft, and certainly is pretty. As far as flower shots go (admittedly not my favourite genre) this is a very solid one.

Wonderful flower here - perhaps a tighter crop around the bud ? Love the colours, and the focus is spot on.

Old Barn

Comment:
Good subject here, but the frame just appears a little messy and the sky is a bit overexposed. Definately worth re-shooting here. I'd also try it in black and white - I think this subject lends itself really well to a monochrome treatment.

sky on fire

Comment:
Wow, that's one of the coolest skies I've ever seen. Perhaps a little too much dark down the bottom of the shot - might have cropped it out if I were you. Otherwise, once again, terrific sky. 7.

Sweet Slumber

NIce angle - like the hue shift here. I would like a slightly deeper DOF here - just a little bit more of the eyelashes in focus would work wonders.

The light of my life

Cute picture. BW works well, though the focus seems slightly off.

Home Stretch

I like the panoramic crop here, the image itself could use a bit more contrast or something. Might also have worked better if you had just focused closely in on the three horses on the left hand side - those three together really hold my interst, and would be really dramatic if isolated.
