Even though I've just fallen in love, there's some funky loss of detail to her chest (photographically speaking, of course lol). The skin tones don't look natural there. Otherwise a very good environmental portrait.

Great capture of expression and "hairdo," but post is a litte bit too heavy. There's a nice combination of wildness and anthropomorphism going on here. I'm undecided on the background brightness as I think it should be toned down a bit. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was a ribbon winner, and my score will reflect that as well.

HDR here is good and not overdone but the multi-colored stars almost look like hot pixels from long exposures and detracts, imo. Think they should have been one color. Rising/setting sun really makes this pic better and gives it another dimension. Also, I think you should have cloned out the lights in the distance background (on land). My eye is wandering around with no place to rest.

The capture is immaculate, but the view too pedestrian. A touch too much blue/green on the background.

Gates to the Fallen City

Interesting composition but I think a little too heavy on the grunge and not enough DOF to really see well the background, which, imo, is more interesting than the foreground fence.

Posed To Perfection

This is actually a pretty good composition but your lighting is too strong and you it appears you haven't compensated for incandescent lighting with white balance, either in your camera, or in post processing.

Good idea but I think more light should be focused on the snakes head.

Doesn't really say alternative medicine to me, but I think it's a great abstract.
