I agree with Dorinda's crop I would clone out the object on the ground I know it is real but it just detracts from the couple I would also clone out the white numbers which pull the eye Perhaps not add the extra snow This image gives us many instances of the choice between reality and fine art |

Nice sharp capture of historical building I would crop more of the sky I would like the uncut grass to be cloned into the mowed strip of land I think the uncut areas help refer to the age of the site I like it as a panorama also see attached file
Before I cropped I brought it to Topaz Studio 2 to AI clear ,brightness ,dehaze,denoise and sharpen |

Nice sharp capture of squirrel who may have bitten off more than he can chew
The pine cone needs more sharpening |

Very interesting capture Sepia was a good choice I too was fooled by the people I thought were looking at a wall hanging but are part of it! I would remove the arrow
Being white it pulls the eye from the main scene |

An interesting travel scene I agree with Jon about the nice colors
I cropped it into a panorama after using Topaz Studio 2 to cut noise and sharpen details as Bill advised |

A beautiful sharp capture of the agave Great composition I like the lighting and the shadows
I would clone in the broken leaf on the right I wonder why you didn't since you usually have good reasons for your choices
The dried points don't bother me as much |

Welcome to our group
My first reaction was Wow! This is a beautiful sharp image Obtained with a lot of work focus stacking
It makes me want to draw and paint it and then maybe put the drawing on one of my greeting cards
I like your lilac background I don't think a different color would be better Perhaps a very slight subtle vignette
I would also add a thin off white stroke |

Nice sharp capture of a dying bloom I like it in monochrome
I agree with Murphy I think selecting the flower and then blurring the background more might work after removing the objects Murphy mentions I think the white stamen or petal in the center needs to be toned down I would also put a 2 pixel white stroke around the image |

A lovely sharp image of a beautiful Foxglove plant on a beautiful creamy background I agree with Charles' critique and removing the left bud
( As an aside Foxglove can be poisonous if eaten by children or pets. It is the poison in many murder mysteries
Foxglove was the source of dried digitalis leaf which was used for years to treat heart failure It was first used by physician William Withering in 1785 He extracted it after a heart patient he could not help went to a gypsy and improved He searched for the gypsy and she finally told him she used the crushed foxglove plant He found the dried crushed leaf to have the most potency It was still being used in the 1970's
Now we have Lanoxin form of digoxin which gives more reliable dosing.
The Foxglove plant was carved on Withering's tombstone) |

A very nice composition of this bright yellow dandelion
I like your idea of the square around the yellow circle I am not bothered by the soft edges of the flower
I might clone in green to cover the yellow spike on the right just above and behind the top rt yellow petals
I would clone in some green on the lower right to make it more uniform then maybe slight darkening for a subtle vignette |

Very nice sharp capture of the fruit against a dark background The stem not being sharp doesn't bother me
Reminds me of an old master Once again I find myself in agreement with another critique by Charles I like the idea of the colored stroke but for my club we are limited to thin off white strokes |
