This is a nice shot of this cat's face. Nice crisp details. The whiskers stand right out. Interesting perspective as well. I gave it a five because it doesn't knock my socks off and I'm sceptical it's a subject you've never photographed before.

I thought you captured the details on the fly beautifully, right down to the irridescent colors but for some reason this shot just doesn't wow me. For that reason I gave it a five. I don't usually like to be vague but I think in this case it is just a matter of taste.

I gave this a five. I don't love the composition but the exposure is decent and it is an interesting subject which I can easily believe you've never photographed before.

Morning Harbor

I gave this a five. It is a nice composition and I like the reflections. It's a bit too contrasty (the lights are too light and the darks too dark). Much of the detail is washed out.

I gave this a five. The subject is interesting and there's nice use of shallow depth of field. I'm not sure a horizontal format was the best choice to show of this interesting plant. There isn't quite enough detail in the spiral section of the plants. The lower one is a bit out of focus.

This is an imcomprehensible still-life. If it's meant to be an abstract, it isn't working for me because the lines and shapes are too jumbled. There is no visual harmony. I gave it a four.

Lone Tree

I gave this a four. A closer view might have helped if that was possible. The image is very high key and contrasty. It is difficult to see any detail between the overexposed reflections and sky and the underexposed shadows. The color is rather harsh and cold for this scene.

Fire Water

I gave this a four. The mood is nice but the shot is blurry (a tripod would have been useful). Your title says Fire Water yet there is no evidence of fire, probably because of the blur.

Butler County Landmark

I gave this a four. The image is quite a bit tilted, as you'll notice if you look at the steps and the podium (or whatever that structure is in the foreground).The podium thing itself is a big distraction in the foreground. The tree at the edge of the frame is very distracting. It would have been better to find a different position to eliminate unecessary objects in the frame. That glowing spot over the door keeps leading my eye right to it without a payoff. The real interest in this image is the contrast of color between the twilit sky and the architectural details at the top of the building.

Spring Fever

I gave this a four. The colors seems drab and the composition isn't particularly interesting. I can see what attracted you to the flowers but it doesn't look like much time or thought was put into framing (or lighting) them to show them at their best.
