When the sky is so flat without any points of interest like clouds etc then the 'empty space' doesn't do much to enhance the overall image, so I'd agree with Mossy and crop just above the tree with a little 'breathing' space just above it.

While a bit crudely carved, I see carving in the eye and neck areas, as well as the curves of the head and shoulders...

It would have been a much stronger image if you hadn't cut off the left ear...

Too dark and bland in black and white, with too much dead empty space at the top.

Very beautiful depth of colors. It is amazing how many different shades of green there are, and your photo captures the wide variation quite well.

I'm seeing some colour noise but not pixelated. Nothing that can't be removed with Noise removal software (although probaly at the expense of detail)

Not sure of an artificial dragonfly is on theme, but assuming it is, I think you could have got a better angle as this one wasn't about to fly away. Perhaps you can re-shoot.

It looks fine to me on a 19" monitor at Hi-Res...There is some color noise, but that's almost a given with point and shoot cameras.

Definitely not your average "zoo photo." Nicely done!

It's a unique image that you have to look at twice to locate the water source. Thin amounts of water shed little color so for me, i like it.

I agree with locksmagic as well. When I first saw the photo, I was really intrigued by the colouring because it wasn't even. When water get thin, it becomes clear, so you can't really expect ALL of the water to have colour.

50cent is a typical African-American rapper. "Former" drug dealer turned rapper, he's been arrested several times since becoming famous for things such as gun possession, drug possession, and basically being a menace. Typical of most rappers of his category he thinks that his fame makes him above the law and basic human decency. (can you tell I'm not a fan)

Shame on you, friiski! 50cent is the son of 75cent, and grandson of 1dollar. Interesting pict. author, and no offense for the artist, whoever he may be. Owing to my -advanced, alas- age, I know nothing about him.

Falling

Hey I've been here!

While I do believe it would have been better if the fall itself could have retained color I understand why it is not. Calling it "half baked at best" is wrong and just plain rude. It may help to crop out the top to below the rock, but I still think this is a nice image.

Watching From Behind

MossyB says:

The water in the middle has no color at all, green, blue, or otherwise. Since you choose the photo you take, you need to keep the background in consideration, since this looks half-baked at best, with a bit of blue at the top, nothing in the middle, and a lot of blue at the bottom. If the way it looked on the ground is what "talked " to you, then crop off the distracting and desaturated top and focus on the water on the ground.

If you read the changed goal, you will find the water doesn't have to be blue. I would work a little more on this one. GL
