Really nice shot. I think the background is sufficiently separated from the subject, but you could try decreasing the sharpness of the background. In Lightroom I would use the adjustment brush. The position of the bird is very good in the image - if you don't want to crop any more try a little dark vignette or selective darkening to make the light-colored leaves less distracting. |

I agree with the comments from Larry and Todd. In my composition I forgot an important thing - focus on the subject and remove as many distractions as possible. Rattlesnake Master is one of my favorite wildflowers, but the wasp is the subject. Therefore sacrifice some of the wildflowers and bring down the highlights. |

This is a wonderful shot. I agree with previous comments that the "eyes" have it! In my opinion there is too much grass. If the quality of the image can be maintained, I would crop the image to focus the image on the head of the cat and its prey. This is probably not possible with the gear you are using, so it's likely you got the best results considering the situation. |

It's a beautiful image with the negative space, elegant subject and reflection. But the bird is very grainy, on my monitor at least. IMO, bird images like this need to be tack sharp. It appears you made the most of the situation. A full-frame camera might have handled the dark conditions, with the required higher ISO, better. Good job! |

The yellow ring around the eye and the reflection in the eye. That's what first caught my attention and really sets this image apart for me. The darkness, the waves in the water and circular raindrops. That sinister head! Wonderful photo - you be careful out there! |

I think the cropping and formatting is good. And the soft and sort of plastic look of the flowers is fine for artsy printing. If you are looking for botanical interest I would want more sharpness and fine-contrast details. In order to bring out the colors and focus on the flowers, in Lightroom I would try using the adjustment brush to reduce saturation on the green foliage, and the yellow lines in the background. Then, using the brush, try selectively dehaze the reds and yellows to make them a little brighter. This image would make a beautiful print! |

I agree with the comments about cropping. I am impressed by the way you brought out the texture of the flowing water by reducing highlights in LR. This gives the viewer a real feel for the water - I can almost hear the sound of the rushing water! |
