Welcome back, C&C per req:1. An interesting image; I think I would have preferred to see both sides of the sign as opposed to having the left cropped off. Note that your camera's light-meter has been partly fooled by the brightness of the sky, and that the sign itself is actually under-exposed slightly. Additionally, the green foliage on the right is somewhat distracting; a slightly different shooting position could have eliminated this, and just left a fringe of sky around the sign.2. A nice image and good use of lines (the shore and the fence) to move the eye around the pictures. The water toward the left foreground is a little dark however, and the image needs straightening. Since you'got a curve in the river, you can't use the bank, but the light-pole on the right could be used to set the image straight.3,4. Both well composed, but suffer from over-bright highlights and too-dark shadows. A levels and curves tweak could help tame this.5. A nice macro, however there's a lot of space in the image that doesn't really contribute. This could be cropped off, leaving (relatively speaking) more butterfly and less 'nothing' for the eye to look at. I understand that these sorts of captures are 'take what you can get', but notice the very hard shadow line; brights on top, deep shadow on the side. As well, because of the angle, and the limited DoF not enough of the instect is in focus. Ideally you want to get him when he's flat vice 'bent'.6. Good composition, and about 1/2 stop over-exposed, but really it doesn't say much to me I'm afraid.Just my $00.02 worth - your milage may vary.~John
