Love the soft color gradation in the sky. Interesting wave patterns in the foreground.
The picture feels a little unbalanced in composition because of the different angles of the lines and the horizon, as well as the hill on the right. Also, there are some artifacts in the sky and a general loss of details in the ocean - possibly from compression or cropping?

Simplicity

Love the minimalism, the silk, the curves, and the purple hues.
I would've probably preferred the other diagonal composition, but that's a nit :)

Autumn Wonder

Lovely long exposure. Those lovely water flow curves towards the bottom right look interesting. Combined with back-lit fall colors at the top and the yellow reflections in the water, I would probably appreciate this even more in full size.

Looking Beyond

Lovely portrait! Very nice lighting and an interesting pose. I would've liked a lighter background to make her hair stand out a bit more (or maybe more a bit more lighting on her hair?).

Explorer

Wow! Finding the fly in the chaos it seems to be in, and capturing it so sharply in such shallow DOF - must've been super hard. I would've tweaked the colors a little to make the fly's eyes standout more vibrantly, but it's a fantastic capture nonetheless.

Low Find

Beautiful shot! Although I would've liked a little more DOF for the bird, the bokeh is so creamy and lovely that I don't mind the shallow DOF. Saturating the reds a bit would've highlighted the ladybird that's about to become lunch :) Low Find is a Good Find :)

The Totems at Monument Valley

Comment:
Wonderful late evening light - the long shadows add a lot of depth to the pic. The beautiful patterns in the red soil are starting to come out. And the Totems do stand out (literally too :) Also like that the bottom is framed nicely by dry bush.
The sky color however, looks quite artificial. Looks something like the result of an 'auto-color' in PS.

Fall Walk

Unique treatment on a fall colors pic - very different from the vibrant/oversaturated pics you usually see.
That, combined with the nicely exposed cloudy sky, sets a gloomy mood to the pic that is at odds with the overall brightness in the pic. If the pic were a little darker with more shadows (or if it were not a HDR?), it might present itself better?

The beginning of Life

Love the muted pastel tones and the softness in the sea and the sky. The contrasty/sharpened sand is at a little odds with the rest of the picture in that regard. The picture would look and feel better without the sand I think.
