The butterfly is all covered up. And It looks like the flowers are overexposed on the upper side of the two sticking out to the left.

The lighting is only covering half it. The part in the light is to bright. Either bright or dark but not half and half. Try using a reflector or two to shine on the other part, if possible. Would also be cool if light was coming out from the inside as well, putting some color into it.

Classical Shapes

The blue of the sky doesn't contrast well with the color of the structure. Maybe 5000 yrs ago when they were either painted or newly quarried and shaped. Maybe they are just in need of more light. Yeah I think that is it. More light on the Columns and less saturation of the Nitrogen (atmosphere).

Nice shapes. The lighting could use some enhancement. Good blurred out background, but the big white space (or the sky I suppose) in between the green leaves is distracting. If the whole back was green or white or leaves and spaces all over the background.

Nice. Needs some more light on this side of the dog. Or taken from the other side might have been good with the sun behind you.

Rock In The Water

Comment:
The rocks appear to be a little blurred out along with the water. I haven't tried to get a foggy water shot before, but you could try it here. I think with a small amount of light coming in setting the aperture just right, the water would fog past the rocks. And you would still get the detail in the rocks of coarse because they aren't moving, by setting the timing just right for enough light.

Is this Earth? Air? Fire? Water? A portrait with a grunge texture layer? I don't know? More of earth if anything with the cracks and kind of dirt feel. Dirt as in Dirt, not saying it is dirt all though if it is it is good dirt.............well you know what I'm saying right. Right. Am I right, or am I right, or am I right. Right. Nice processing!

I see fire, water, earth, but where is the air? Interesting. Noisy. Looks like you cut it out on the sides where the white is. Try using a brush that is feathered, or the feathering with the selection tool, so one area blends into the next area in a more natural way.

I like it. I haven't tried to get one of these shots yet with the water kind of fogging out like that. I think it's the yellow in the plants is a little bright and distracting from the water. Also maybe the pine needles hanging down in the top left are kind of in the way.
