Saluting the Sun

Fantastic sunset, but your foreground is too dark and is thus distracting. Use a shadow/highlight mask in photoshop (Judi's infrared tutorial explains this process very well, along with other post processing tricks). The mask would let us see more detail in the foreground.

Sleepy Hollow

I like how you've used dodge/burn to frame the girl. Her color contrasts well with the background, and is overall the result of good composition. Well done

I love a good lighthouse picture, but because they're usually on beautiful and interesting pieces of coast, I wish you had shown us more of the lighthouse's surroundings. Sunsets and sunrises also work well with lighthouses. Currently, nothing -really- captures my attention and makes me say "wow! thats amazing!"

Holding On

I think the colors could be emphasized more. I think a single capture HDR would work great to capture the shadow detail you've lost in the boats keel, and would help keep the cloud highlights from being blown out as much. Also, you can do a background clone/layer overlay with shadow/highlight adjustments for a similar effect

Overflow
by Techo

Comment:
What I like most about this image is the contrast of the deep, tea-infused water with the dominant white background. The effect is unique, and it works well. Also, the 'overflow' is well captured. I would have excluded the lemon slice because it's distracting, and then you could have all of the viewers attention focused on the tea. Either that, or put the slice in the glass, on the rim--that way, it has utility and enhances the image

Bee

Nice macro, I especially like the pollen buds through the bee's wings. The depth of focus works to your advantage by keeping the background blurry but still visible--7

I think this image gets its strength from the light--its so cold and harsh and...institutional, and that empasizes the emotion of the girl to great effect.

Excuuuuse me! Apples don't come in orange...

I think a green apple would have done better here, simply to make the contrast of colors more stark
