Bird

I love the curve formed by these birds and the silhouette affect just adds to the overall composition. This is a great shot and, in my opinion, should get a ribbon. Nicely done.

He Is Quite Right You Know....

This is my favorite shot of the bunch. I love the expression, do monkeys have expressions, on the face, the whole thinking man type feel. The background is nice and simple as to not distract from the picture and I love the colors and contrast. This is a ribbon winner in my opinion.

Comfy Cat

I really like the coloring in the eyes of this cat. The expression (do cats have expressions?) is great. I have a heard time finding the cat in the picture though, it is too dark, and most of the picture is basically black, I can't really make out the cat except for its face. I actually think this would have been a much more appealing shot if it was a tighter shot on the face, try cropping it and see what it looks like.

Tattered wings

I really like the shadow of the fly. I think that really adds to this picture. But for some reason my eye keeps going to the point where all the veins of the leaves meet. It almost feels like the subject to me. Overall this is a great shot.

I really love this shot. The water is a nice clear blue and you filled the frame nicely with the turtle. The only thing that is distracting to me is the top of the water. This shot would have been awesome if the turtle was deeper so I couldn't see the top of the water and I didn't realize I was in an aquarium of some sort.

A little fauna, with a little flora thrown in

Nice close up here, I really like the colors of that wasp(is it a wasp of some sort?). I think the composition is great there, the one thing I think that could help it be better is if it was on a different color of flower. The colors start to blend together a little bit to me.

In the Foggy Farm Field

Comment:
For me there is too much sky and there is nothing in the sky. It seems as though you were trying to keep in with the rule of thirds here, I would suggest moving the subject to the top third instead of the bottom third, the field would help with this picture more than the sky does. In reality I think the shot should be tighter in so there is more focus on the bird.

Great bokeh in this shot. I like the clarity and the colors of the frog against the tree.

Eagle Eyes

Comment:
This is a cool shot, I especially like how the eagle is looking through the rest of the picture, nice job leaving that space to the top and right. For this specific challenge I would rather see the bird doing something though, the them fauna to me is animal life, which, in my mind, has the animals doing something. Great shot though.

I'm happy to see that they eyes aren't black here, without catch light, especially in animals, the eyes can make them look dead. I also like how the monkey is looking off into the distance. I do wish that the greenery around was a darker green though.
