The Tenacious Dragon

I like the texture of the dragon, I looks wooden. The shadow is also interesting and adds an intimidation that normally are associated with dragons. The carving/figurine is nicely detailed and sharp. Only negative is the harsh/overexposed light coming from the lower right corner. I'm assuming you had to have the light that close to get the desired shadow, but the blown out area is very noticable and probably the best way to have avoided that would have been to move the light a little farther back and play with the EV levels.

Good color, lighting, and good composition with the lizard/dragon coming diagonally from the corner. Not a real fan of the rocks, though, the dof looks kinda weird on them. The lizard/dragon has a great texture and is nicely sharp.

The Blue Dragon

The duotone is interesting but you usually see these chinese dragons in a lot of very vibrant colors. It looks like it has either camera shake blur or motion blur, but that could work to denote motion of the dragon as it moves toward the viewer. It fills the frame, which is a good thing.

The quality isnt really the best and the background has a little noise in it. Composition is fine, but the subject is also slightly blurry. It could be your camera, else you should try and use a lot of light for the camera to focus better and also use a tripod or a sturdy surface to rest the camera on if you are not.

I'm not really a fan of the inverted or oversaturated, funky edited pop art look, sorry.

DOG

This has great energy! The exposure on the snow is good, and you even captured those tiny sparkles of fresh snow. It's a good motion capture with no blur, although the head could have been just a tad sharper. Compositionally he's dead center, but I think having him bound toward the viewer gives it the dynamic of a dog rushing to meet his owner.

"Moses" Starring in: Year of the Dog

It's a clear shot, good details (which is hard in a darker dog), good lighting with no obvious shadows, and the background is non-distracting. I'm leaning towards disliking the collar. I think having it not there at all, or backing up a little and showing the entire collar may have been better.

Chinese New Year 2004 :: Year of the Monkey

Without the background this would have probably been an ok cuddly toy shot, but I think with the background it actually works. It's cute, composition is good, and it has more relevancy. Good use of dof, lighting/exposure is good, and the monkey is sharp. Fun shot!

Very cute, has a wonderful soft look, the expression is cute, almost like he's wondering what's happening to him/her. I like the position of the crate too, gives the image a little more depth and interest.

The horse is good, I like the coloring and texture, and it has a somewhat soft look too. Not fond of the desaturated backgroun, but I can see how it's used to isolate the horse. I really dislike the white bar at the bottom, tho. It's slanted and quite a distraction.
