David, this is such a charming capture! The squirrel's expression is delightful, and the framing within the tree adds a wonderful sense of storytelling. The detail in the fur is fantastic, and the lighting on the subject is well-handled.
I agree with Sophia's suggestion about slightly toning down the brightness on the squirrel's chest to maintain detail. The surrounding tree works well in framing the subject, so I wouldn't change much there. Beautiful work! |

Victor, this is a beautiful capture! The sunburst effect is well-executed, and the warm tones of the rock contrast nicely with the deep blue sky. The composition is simple yet striking, making it a very calming and inviting image. |

Pete, this is a striking close-up! The symmetry and details in the orchid make for a fascinating composition, and the colors really pop. The crop works well to emphasize the abstract, almost face-like quality of the flower.
I agree with Sophia about toning down the green in the background-it draws a bit of attention away from the subject. Mark's suggestion of adding some blur could also help soften it. Beautiful work! |

Mark, this is a fantastic capture! The interaction between the parent and chicks tells a compelling story, and the framing keeps all the subjects well-placed within the scene. The details in the feathers are beautifully sharp, adding great texture to the image.
I agree with Sophia's suggestion about lightening the eye of the parent to bring more focus to the expression. The background works well for me, as it provides a natural setting without being too distracting. |

Hi Sophia, this is an excellent capture of a Praying Mantis. The sharp detail on the mantis, especially in the eyes and front legs, really brings it to life. The lighting is well-controlled, creating a strong contrast between the subject and the dark background, which adds to the drama of the image.
One minor refinement-there's a slight highlight on the leaf that competes with the subject. A subtle adjustment in post-processing to tone it down could help keep the viewer's focus entirely on the mantis. |

Nice portrait! The subject's expression is engaging, and the shallow depth of field does a great job of isolating her from the background. The natural lighting is soft and flattering.
A small refinement- I agree with what has been said so far toning down the highlights in the background, especially on the gold elements, could help reduce distractions. Slightly darkening the background would also enhance subject separation and keep the focus on her expression. overall great this is a great photo. |

This is a beautifully composed image with a strong storytelling element. The black-and-white treatment enhances the mood, emphasizing textures and contrasts in the sand, waves, and subjects. The positioning of the two figures creates a sense of connection and curiosity, making the viewer wonder about the scene unfolding.
One minor refinement-consider increasing the contrast slightly on the figures to help them stand out more against the sand. This would add a bit more depth and ensure they remain the focal point of the composition. Nicely done! |

This is a great capture! The composition tells a strong story, drawing the viewer into the subject's focused moment. The natural pose and environment make it feel authentic and engaging. The soft lighting works well to keep the details in both the subject and background without harsh shadows.
One minor refinement-consider slightly blurring or toning down the brightness of the background fence. While it adds context, the white lines draw a bit of attention away from the subject. A subtle adjustment could help strengthen the overall focus. Nicely done! |
