I really like the perspective of this shot - the low angle works well. I would consider cropping more off the bottom though, to eliminate the highly reflective puddle in the rocks. The soft focus/glow works well, but the shot seems overall a bit on the dark side. You might try lightening it a bit and bumping up the color sat or using the tint brush with some lighter shades of the existing colors to brighten things up a bit. :-) Beautiful scene!

LOL - Love the setup! The crop seems a bit tight on the top & left, and the colors are a bit washed out, but you really got a great capture! I would consider burning some areas to deepen the color tones, maybe increase the color sat, and sharpen just a hair. Very cute shot! Still wondering how in the world you managed to convince the little guys to perform for you!!!

I like the deep, rich color tones in this shot. I also like the soft focus/glow. The crop seems a bit tight to me on the top though - the little guy needs to have somewhere to go. :-) Nice capture.

I really like the concept and setup here - the rubber duck was a great touch! I think that the image seems a bit washed out though (pun intended). I would probably try to burn the reflection to deepen the color tones and shadows. If you reduced the overall lighting (PP), I think you could really improve the image's impact. Nice shot.

Nice lighting control and I like the natural green tones. Something about the composition seems a hair off to me, but I can't quite put my finger on it - I think it almost seems too "centered" to me. Of course, that's a just a personal preference. The focus & DOF are both quite good.

I agree that it's a nice clean simple shot. Good focus and natural color tones. My only nitpick would be to straighten the horizon. :-)

Absolutely spectacular shot! This couldn't be any sharper and the lighting is perfect. Love the natural rich color tones and the blue background was a very good choice. Excellent work.

Fantastic focus & DOF! And I have to echo other commenters' sentiments... What a cutie! LOL Great composition too. Really terrific capture. Very nice work.

I like the height of this crop - the vine/root really draws the viewer's eye right through the image & to the cat. The background is a little distracting, in that it seems a bit too bright - not sure if you could burn it or blur it to reduce some of the glare. Great shot though - especially through glass (not an easy thing to do)!
