a peacock feather

Comment:
Great lines, warm hues, and a pleasing diagonal composition.
Is this the backside of the feather?
The main subject that the eye is drawn to (where the stalk ends), is a bit bland with no texture or anything to make it interesting I think. Might look better from farther away or from the front of the feather with more texture or color or design to give the focal point more interest.

"Dog Day Afternoon"

Comment:
Good portrayal of the comfortable bond between a man and his dog. Nice conversion to B/W as well.
The presence of a leash is slightly detracting from the scene because it immediately bring the viewer back to reality that the dog is a pet, not a friend. Also, the boat makes the background very busy and taking away from the main subject I think.

Wow! The title sums up the scene perfectly. Very nice post processing too - that sky looks angry and spent.

Nice - the pic's got it all - a delightful sunset palette in the sky, a beautiful and forlorn lighthouse, smooth waters and some reflections. Very peaceful, and an apt title.

Well... the clouds look a bit too gloomy for it to be heaven :)
Wonderful capture of a cold scene with great lines and a pleasing composition.

Boy! Will he be glad to be home or what? :) A very nice capture of the drudgery that cold weather brings.

Gorgeous reflections, pleasing cold tones, and a nice composition. A bit too centered vertically I think.

A Hazy Shade of Winter

Surreal! Could be a Painting! Wonderful Scene, well captured.
I think this would look better with a slight crop to get rid of the blank (but bright, and distracting) sky on the top.

Limelight

Interesting composition and fabulous lighting. Good title for the capture too. I have a feeling that with such nice lighting, had you captured a more interesting subject than limes, you might do even better in the FS.
