Hehe - witty title to a good subject well captured. This could've come from a pet portrait studio - very nice!

Battle for survival?
Amazing scene captured precisely, and in such nice light, and with a creamy/dreamy bokeh! Very well done indeed.

Nice! Soft lighting and gentle colors show off the waterfalls very well. An apt title adds to the charm.
I wonder how the scene would look from the other side of the falls - right now it feels as though the slope of the hill top leads the eye away from the waterfalls.

A very difficult high-contrast scene exposed nicely (although the white chest looks a bit blown).
My focus is immediately drawn to the eye of the bird, which ended up close to the center of the pic. I would crop the pic differently to keep the eye as close to the thirds as possible, and away from the center. Although the reflection wouldn't be clear, a full reflection would look better than a chopped off one I think.

Bad hair day for sure :)
Nice and sharp! Love the creamy and subtle pastel bokeh to go with it.
Can't help but notice the sensor dust on the center-right edge as well as on 2/3 right-top edge.

Nice expressions! And neat processing too. I wish the grandpa (2nd from the right) would also look where everyone else seems to be looking - would've made a better scene I think.

Nice capture! The baby and mommy scene is always heart warming :)
The picture might do better with a boost in saturation - right now, the green reflections look washed out. I'd also crop it differently to move the red eye as much away from the center as possible, because that's where my attention is drawn to in the first instance.

Belated Happy Birthday to the subject - hope it was a good one.
The candles are perfectly exposed in the picture, with nice colors too! Everything else is too dark though. Happy Birthday is a happy occasion, and the picture needs to be bright and cheerful to depict it. If necessary, I'd expose one for the candles, and one for everything else, and then combine the exposures into a HDR.

Beautiful! The natural framing with bushes in the foreground is a nice touch. The dark, underexposed foliage and the moody skies add a foreboding to the picture. I would've chopped a little off the left of the pic because it doesn't add anything to the picture and makes it a little off-balance I feel.

Nice! The underside of the pelican wings are exposed nicely enough to show the details, but the body looks a little burnt out because of overexposure.
