Hi Agnes. I like the cropping, the gaze is very intense and the colors are great.
The eyes seem to have a bit of motion blur and are a tad soft. At 1/30, its hard to get the action of the eyes stopped. Cats eyes are constantly in motion shifting back and forth by a very small fraction.
Her eyes seem almost to have clouds in them. It would be interesting to add and effect like that purposely or a reflection of the earth in her eyes.

Composition, texture and mood are fabulous. Congrats.

This was my first edit, but I wanted to coax some more blue out of the sky.

I really like the color and texture. Its simple, tranquil and austere.

I appreciate the feedback. I've taken to bordering everything with a similar border for consistency, and black seemed safest. I compared them side by side and I preferred it with the border, but I could be the William Hung of the photography world, thinking I'm just fabulous.
With my 50mm lens at ISO 250, and a 640 shutter, I could have gone up much more. I thought 4.5 would get me where I needed to be. I'm learning to stop down more and more. I'm wondering though, if having shot at a 6.3 would have brought the distant petals into too much detail.

Who are these people who dole out 3's like they are going out of style? A 3 is a poor quality image. I'd like to know what about this image is poor? Its not perfect, but it is a studied image, shot with care by someone who has invested and practiced. What about it so terribly unoriginal? I didn't shoot the bug in the middle of the flower. I waited for him to perch on the outside. I carefully planned for an analogous color scheme--not a coincidence. Sure, it's not wholly unique; but its also not your typical butterfly shot. I challenge that rater to give me a real critique of this. If you know what you are talking about, then how about helping a person grow and not just handing out low points. /rant

Wow. Stunning image. Nothing to improve upon here. 7/7

Another image from the National Zoo. Retouched background to remove
some fence but other wise, just curves, levels & USM. Should I try to
blur the leaves behind him further?

He gets to sleep on a fresh bed of bamboo and doesn't have to conquer is dinner so he is able to maintain his gorgeous appearance. We got lucky and arrived at super time.

I had a delayed reaction to this one. I just had to look at it for a couple of minutes, then I a giggle sprang out of me. You really captured the personality of the moment. Bravo! It's a very challenging shot and nicely in focus. There is a horizontal line that runs through the background and a similar line across the bridge of the nose. Its the tiniest bit distracting.
