Enchanting! That is really all that I can think to say. The bokeh is phenomenal. The title is very fitting, a golden moment. 8

Absolute perfection. It is amazing the things that nature can create. This photograph definitely does that justice. 9

Where the Earth Meets the Sky

Love the pastels here, and the smoggy feel of the picture. You completely lose track of when water ends and sky begins. Excellent work! 8

This is a really fabulous concert photo. Its a funny contrast between some of those fans that are way into it and those two in the back that are super mellow about it. I love how the eye bounces back and forth between the singer and the audience, it provides a really nice interaction between the two; same goes for the dark on the left and white on the right. The more I look at this photograph, the more it grows on me. 8

I am a major fan of bird portraits anyways, and this one is just lovely! The lorikeets head is so vividly sharp and it has such a happy expression. Well done!

The harsh sunlight, centered composition of the dog, and nearly cropped of head of the woman, all make me feel that this is more of a snapshot than a thoughtfully planned photograph. The woman is staring at the camera awkwardly and the dog is staring at something off screen, which both ensures that nothing interesting is happening within the frame for the viewer to look at, and rather the viewer wonders what is happening outside of it. If the dog was looking at and engaging the woman, and the woman was looking at and engaging the dog, this might have been different. The way it is, they are in complete disharmony and the viewer feels this. Even just cropping out the woman entirely would have made this a much more powerful photograph.
I am not trying to be critical in telling you this. Rather, I am trying to meaningfully explain my low vote (as so many people often call for) so that you may improve in the future. This photograph is sharp and mostly exposed properly, it just needs a more thoughtfully captured moment, to make it great. 4

Wow, the blimp almost makes this look surreal. I really like this. The exposure is perfect and the picture is sharp and yet so very smooth. 9

Lovely. This looks more like a painting than a photograph. I could definitely see this hanging on somebody's wall. I love the contrast between the warm sky and the cool fog, and the horses create the perfect added point of interest.
I just really connect with this. 10 from me

I wish this was a bit bigger, as this is a lovely landscape photograph. I like the wide perspective and how the trees curve.
