Very krisp kat you got there. I always appreciate a clever title (MeerMuffs?), and this is one of the top animal pics in the group. Nice job.

Enjoying The View

A little overboard on that gaussian blur filter, huh? It's a very good photo, but I might have preferred the original to the fuzzy edges. Try the lens blur instead, and you won't get a glow around your selection. That dark spot to the left of the purple flower is kinda annoying. Excellent focus and light quality on the remainder of your image. 7

This has Heida written all over it. The only thing that might improve this shot for me is a dash of blue ribbon. 10

It's raining men! Hey... wasn't there a song to that effect? A little dark, but good color and composition on this unusual find.

Nicely done. Good color and reflections on the water. I'd like a little sharper focus for more detail (maybe you had to crop too much?), and I think that left storage tank could be cropped out. Whenever I see a good sky or twilight photo, I complain to myself that there are too many trees in my area. This is about 30 minutes from my house, so thanks for ruining that excuse for me! ;-)

Great image, though the cropping is a little tight for my taste. The contrast between building and sky is very striking. I see plenty of detail in the white areas, but I do think you could have underexposed a bit to hold even more. I probably would have sat here for a few hours if necessary waiting for a bird to pass by for additional interest.

Safe Passage

Beautiful color and light. I'd like to see the whole scene shifted so the second tree on the right is cropped out, and more there's water on the left. The focus appears soft, as if you cropped in a lot, but still one of the better shots in this group. Well done! 8

Power Inversion

Comment:
I hate overly processed images... except this one. ;-) A very frame-worthy approach to an otherwise mundane scene, and very appropriate for a Free Study. I wish the top wasn't so brown (shift the color to purple or deep red maybe), but that's just my personal taste. 8

Whether intentional or not, I like the watercolor look. The highlights are a little overexposed, but very nice composition. 7

A fun image- I like the playfulness. Make sure you rotate next time to get the fenceposts vertical- that's a faux pas around here. ;-)
