Really Beautiful.

Beautiful.

His teeth look too orange in the original. I do like the portrait.

I like this.

It is the green hair that bothered me.

This is your strength.

Beautiful.

Peaceful. Humans add something!

This is really nice.

Too much of the shell is out of focus.

Wow! What an amazing image. Really cool.

This is very nice. I think  see the effect of a polarizer.

You have hit the nail on the head for everything, Scene, light, clarity, focus, etc except for the white clouds both in the middle and at the top.  Those clouds are very white and missing details - i.e. overexposed. The middle clouds occupy a significant percentage of the image and attracts my eyes to the detriment of the rest of the image which is very attractive.

This could be a function of the dynamic range of your existing camera. There are software solutions to dynamic range but a Canon Rebel or Nikon 7000(good price since there is a 7100 and a 7200 out there)  would do a much better job in this area. 

I am sure the raters and the commentators are aware of this but the culture of Photo.net does not encourage the type of comment I am making.

Honestly, I was thinking of rating a 3 or a 4 but I will rate 4 for the reason I specified.   

I see the owl or is it the naked lady.

Beautiful. I really like the outfit.

Beautifully captured.

It is a very attractive scene which you have composed very well.

I can only offer this:

The grass looks too yellow which could indicate a color balance issue

Starting with the foreground grass, it is too soft and should be sharper.

I don't know if it is up for rating but for the reasons listed, I would rate it 4.

I hope you would not be offended if I told you that it looks too saturated for my tastes. I note that you have been honest re the post processing and I appreciate that. 

A good day to you,
