the frame really bothers me on this one - distracts from the beauty of the falls and bridge

hmmm - can't say that I have ever seen a greeting card category entitled "Wildlife"
Nice shot, but does not meet the challenge in my opinion.

Somewhere Between Heaven and Earth

very cool shot - I like how thw tree appears to have heaven's spotlight on it. Would be nicer if the green of the tree was more vivid.

I love old wood and trees - you've got a great image here with the wooden posts and lines of trees. The colors are nice and vivid. Beautiful sky.

Nice shot - just looks a bit over-sharpened. Colors are beautiful

The little match girl

** Greetings from the Critique Club **

A very interesting and creative perspective. I myself have never heard of the book "The Little Match Girl", so the title made no sense to me. The photo however says a lot so I did not care if the title was a bit confusing.
The focus and DOF are well done. I love all the colors and lighting. The only thing I thought needed correction was the color of the shirt the person to the right has on - it is too neutral, and the fact that had this really been in winter time the people would have had on warmer clothes.
Keep the creativity flowing and keep shooting!

Look Who Is Coming to Dinner, from a Flea's Perspective
by olddj

Comment:
** Greetings from the Critique Club **

This is a great idea - however the execution could have been better with a little extra work. The grass covers too much of the dog's face - you might try getting the dog in position - tell him to stay - then clear away some of the grass that obscures the facial expression, yet leaving enough to give the idea of a flea hiding in the long grasses.
One of the comments you received indicated a flea does not see this clearly - I personally have no idea if this is true or not. I do think a slight gaussian blur over the entire image might have worked as it would have drawn away attention to how OOF the grass is in the foreground. The image is a tad grainy which I would not have expected with such a low ISO. Perhaps sending it through NeatImage or a similiar program that eliminates noise would have helped out.

Serenity

The first thing I sense when I look at this is serenity. A nice warmth comes over me. The colors and composition are beautiful. Only recommendation would have been to get the focus sharper as it is a bit too soft in my opinion.
