someone went really overboard with saturation/contrast. composition is nice though, just wish it didn't look like the planet was melting.

The Fisherman

I like it but wish he had just a bit more room under his feet, and the colors feel bit unnatural, but I'm not sure about that so I'll assume you didn't mangle them.

Ducks in Flight

not sharp, not really a silhoutte, weird blotch in the corner, boring sky.
get your things in focus (unless the softness is intentional to add to the photo) then worry about the rest.

On The Farm

i like it, bit of a story telling element, and the repitition is nice throughout the frame. I just don't like the crop...these crops almost always feel unnatural to me.

Reflect

Comment:
this could be a nice image but it's not really a silhouette and it is either much too compressed or toned too roughly. I see where you were maybe thinking of the tree line being a silhouette but it looks blotchy. Overall the photo just looks too processed in a sloppy manner, but otherwise it's ok.

The Power and the Majesty

Comment:
to me, the sky looks unreal and oversaturated. I think it would have been as strong or more so without such aggressive post-processing work.

Yeah this is one of the best things I've seen on here in awhile. What an imagination and well executed.

A motherly boxer

Thanks all for the comments.
I guess I should explain the angle and composition I chose because I got so many suggestions on it.

I shot down on the mother and child because standing at their level had them lost in the background (I did make photos like this)...and this was cleaner.
I shot this wide because, while I wanted to keep the subjects isolated I wanted to keep the punching bags in the frame to contribute information as to the type of the environment they were in.
I do wish that leg on the left were gone, but it was there in real life ..and so I leave it there. The moment was past when the leg was gone, so while the image could have been cleaner, the moment between mother and child was lost. Looking through the comments and looking at the photo again, it was probably too wide..but I still would want to keep the bags and background elements there.

Hope this doesn't come off as an excuse, but it's an explanation of wwhy I shot it this way. To tell a story and not so much to look as pretty...(though I did want it to look pretty).
