The parrot picture is quite stunning though I probably wouldn't have chosen such a shallow DOF as I think the parrots in the background add to the image. As they are they are almost just blobs of colour. Slightly more DOF (but keeping the background birds out of focus) would add definition to the background birds and add dimension to the picture.

Yep, I agree. You have a keen eye and impressive photos for someone who is "New" to photography. I'd say you have an especially good knack for landscapes/cityscapes/seascapes. Those are the ones that stood out to me the most. The first one of the Yacht club is beautitul. One thing to watch that I noticed in a couple are your horizons. Looked like some might have been just a slight bit tilted maybe. But I have a hard time eyeing that stuff sometimes so I could be wrong. :-) You seem to be well on your way. Look forward to seeing more. :-D
