Black Tulip

Great shot. I've never seen a black tulip before! One suggestion: for me, if there wasn't another black tulip in the background it would have added to the feeling that this was a unique and interesting flower.

Looks like a great statue, but isn't lit well enough. Took me a while to figure out exactly what it is that I'm looking at.

Great use of black and white. Very good composition, both with regard to aligning the horse nicely in the rule of thirds grid, and also with regard to having just the right amount of interesting things in the background: not too much to pull the focus away from the horse, but not too little as to make the entire picture boring.

The Lost Jewel

Love the texture of the background, and the central point of focus seems to be perfectly aligned in the rule of thirds grid. However, it's hard for me to tell what the item is. The title indicates that it's a jewel, but is it a jewel in some sort of setting? A ring? A bit better lighting on the item would have helped me.

Beautiful color contrast, and wonderful sharpness on the sailboat. The sharpness is especially nice when placed against the smooth fog.

Flight

Beautiful photo, but I can't figure out why it's called "flight".

Beautiful shot, especially with how you used the lighting to make the trees and bench dark and the sailboat lit. Only thing I would have tried differently is to take the shot without the bench as the bench seems to be competing with the sailboat to be the strong point in the image.

Beautiful photo. I love the composition (bird seems to be perfectly aligned in the rule of thirds grid) and the lighting where the leaves aren't lit at all and the bird is barely lit. Only thing I would have tried to do is create just a little bit more separation between the bird and moon, but I bet this photo was pretty hard to get as it is.

Great colors and concept, but photo probably taken at wrong time during the day. Sunlight is way too strong, especially reflecting off the water.
