The fuzzy hairy surface these are on is very unapealing. Would have been best on a flat hard surface. It was a good attempt at a macro but didn't quite make it. Its out of focus and pixelated. I like the concept and the colors.

This image has good dof and color. Flowers are best shot in diffused light instead of harsh sunlight. Though this one isn't bad because you don't have a lot of deep shadows. Your composition is also good.

I have always admired the birds of prey! They are so elegant! The owls attention is really focused on her hands. The handler looks very young. Her hair matches the color tones of the birds feathers. I like the color range used here. At first I wasn't so sure but as I sat here looking at it, I have grown to like it.

Colors that we call 'clashing' are beautiful when nature mixes them. Is this from the butterfly bush? This is very lovely. One thing that catches my attention are the hot spots on the petals. A diffused light might have been better.

Lovely eyes! Her eyes have the same color as the dress she is wearing. The lighting on her face is perfect as it has just enough shadow to define her features but no harsh shadows. I can see the shape of the reflector in her eyes. The only thing I could find for improvement is the hot spot on the flowers she is holding, but that is minor and doesn't grab the attention. Her skin is beautifully soft and perfect. A fabulous portrait!

Beautiful Macro! I want a macro lens so badly! The Colors here fit the challenge very well. Love how the wings are so transparent.

Pastel Dress

I love old brick settings. This is unique with the opening at the top allowing light to come thru the ivy. The large floral on the dress matches the shape of the plant dropping down the hole. The leading lines in the image draw your eye to where her hands meet the brick. Which suggest she is possibly tied up. The look on her face adds to the idea she is there against her will. A slight change in hand position could have altered that perception. I don't care for many lower perspective with models as its usually looking straight up the nose. But I think you pulled it off well here.

These type of images fascinate me. Optical illusions are fantastic. Reflections of poofy white clouds at the top would add to the illusion. But nature never cooperates that well. I like the orange of the floaters match the orange of the sky. Very nice!

The Spot

Thats definately pastel in color. The fisherman is in the right spot, horizon is in the right spot. but, something feels wrong and I can't place it. Perhaps its because Im used to seeing bright vivid color tones. Or maybe its the jet streams drawing the eye away? Maybe the fisherman should be a silhouette. I'm at a loss on it. I like it so Im giving you a 7. The sky looks like someone scribbled it in with sky chalk.
