Great title, enhances a good humourous photo.

I had to keep coming back to this one to tell if I like it or not. I do like the movement and I almost wish the beak was more out of focus. I'm still in the air about the cropping though, can't tell if I would make it tighter or not. One thing this photo did do was capture my attention, so points for that!

Great use of negative space, and I love the angle of this photo. I feel like Heidi climbing the hills looking at this. I definitely would have minimized the white border, it distracts from the colour in the picture and enhances the white (blank) space of the lambs head. Overall great job.

MOO

These cows are just too indistinct. It's hard to get close with live, untamed animals though, I can appreciate that. Maybe next time try caturing a few stragglers that are not all in the same group.

I think the only negative thing I can say about this picture is that it's a little busy. Having said that the colours are great, and the subject is wonderfully sharp.

I love how they all look so determined. Looks like they're all going off to work on a Monday morning. The image overall is a bit dark, but you have certainly captured an obvious emotion.

The Icelandic Quicksilver Swan...

Love the colours, and the softness of the swan against the coldness of the water. Great composition.

Never to Climb Again...

I hope this shot doesn't work against you, knowing the mindset of many voters. Don't get me wrong, I think it's gross, but it fits the challenge and its done very well. Furthermore, it's original and certainly captures your attention. While I wouldn't hang it on my wall, I would certainly stop and look at it on someone else's. Good job!

You chose a hard subject to capture. I would have preferred a little less sharp detail on the flower and more on the bee, but understandably the bee probably did not help you out with accomplishing this. Damn moving animals. *grin*

Stuffed Fauna

I said this on another photo as well, I like the creativity of this shot (thinking outside of the box) and I don't mark down on it. However in this challenge I do mark up when someone captures a particulary hard fauna subject given that animals generally don't stick around to pose.(so you do miss that point) I think to improve this image, if you were going to include an animals body in the picture you probably should have included it's head as well.. *grin*
