Interesting lines, the dark edges are strange, and make this feel very topographical. I would have liked to have seen more color, or more variation of tone.

Interesting. Love the generous space on the left, and the slight warmth beneath her eyes. The smokey background seems appropriate, not tacky, and adds some needed contrast/texture.

Bird on a Limb

I love macaws, they have such interesting faces.

For this shot, i wish the aperture was one or two steps higher. The face seems to be infocus, and I would love if its forefeathers were just a bit sharper.

Big Shot

I thought that these were really interesting beer cans initially, then was disappointed to read "grape soda" :D
colors and lighting seem to be spot on, the condensation is nice, like the small drops as opposed to big ones. The left can being rotated and cropped seems weird, and makes this feel candid as opposed to setup (same with the different can croppings on top)

Fly away

This feels really really really overly sharpened in post. It's hard to actually focus and see any sort of detail of the dragonfly.

The Blue Hour

Love the OOF parts, and the left side of the image. It reminds me of a freshly waxed car, smooth, and with wonderful diffusion. This is exposed extremely well, I know I would have over exposed it.

Cold Shoulder

Nice expression, works well with the title. The animal print works well with the age of the model. lighting is so precise, I'd love to know the setup to this.

interesting texture. doesn't speak terribly to me, it feels a bit flat, especially for having so many areas of degradation. I think some side-lighting would help bring out some small shadows and make this pop a bit.

I like this shot, I think I would have focused a bit more on the closer eye rather than the far (or just not have used such a rapidly declining aperature). Her face is full of emotion, and the lighting adds to the drama.

I'm not terribly familiar with snow/cold environments, is this simply water frozen over? it has such intense texture to it, and I'm really curious as to what causes those micro sparkles. The gradation of tone from white to blue is also nice, and helps maintain interest.
