Ick aphids - nice contrast of delicate fly-away seeds and nasty bugs - picture perfect focus - lovely background - interesting directonal leading the eye : crawlies all going down he stem, seeds all pointing down as if the infestation is prventing them from flying away. this is enhanced by the ight crop at the to which doesnt leave room for flying away either.

beautiful scene - have you tilted the horizon? or does it go uphill slightly?

What is supposed to draw my eye here? what is the main subject? the water? am i supposed to notice that it is dirty? polluted? or is it the little bush in front? if so, why include all the other beanches and leaves also? cant quite figure out the point here

One more reminder that dinosaurs are related to birds - what an odd neck - i have never seen a pisture of a heron from this angle - amazing capture

Very nice use of color - I like the way the green of her clothing, headskarf are picked up by the leaves and the window frame also looks green. shapes too: leaves, paisley print and her ear lips and collarbone.

Eeps - am I standing on something that is moving? great focus then! colors slightly washed out or did you intend it that way?

uh oh - the "border patrol" is going to hate this border. It seems to wide and too grey to me. Also the border color is a warm grey and the water colors arre all cool.

does the imag tilt left? It is a pet peeve of mine, but I also think people feel uncomfotable with a slanted image and vote it just a bit lower than they would if it were straight. have you ever tried the measure tool under the eyedrop tool in photoshop? Its a really easy way to straighten an image. Otherwise, I love the colors and the sharp foreground focus.
