Carol, those are very good. I have never seen this side of you, always the fish pics. I am positively surprised. Great subjects and composition overall. The sky shots would really benefit from a circular polariser, you can get the screw on types for some cameras, or the ones you hold in front of the lens for the others. Makes sky pop out.
I am not that "big" on the frames. They are a bit on a "fun" side and the photos seem to have more of Artistic tone to them. A simple black frame would really do them justice, or no frame at all. We are about to unveil our new Photoshop tutorials and the Frame one is one of the first coming out. Take a look at it.

The baby birds are great, really solid composition and well done shot. All of them I really like except the first one which has a bit of a wierd comp in my eyes.

Hard to pick a favourite. They're all great. I really like the farm, the simplicity of it is great. Very strict lines and simple of course..
Nice work!

I actually like this one the most, even the fading background frame (though it could be a bit less obvious)

Thanks :) Now that lens thingie for the sky shots I can afford! lol I looked it up online and I can get the adapter and that for less then 60$ .
That leaf shot was taken at Rickett's Glenn state park.I saw the leaf on the path,then the rock and some twigs and just arranged them the way I thought they'd look best.
That frame does look very dark ,on my old monitor it looked more similar to the background color of the quick reply box on this site...That's what I was aiming for colorwise. eep...
The birds are actually in a little bird house nailed up on a tree at my sister's.I stacked rocks to reach high enough and held the cam up over my head for that shot! lol Had no idea what I'd get until after it was taken and I climbed down!
Thanks again for the comments ,advice and compliments :D
#2 and #3 works for me. It's amazing that you took #2 with a a simple P&S. Really like the surrounding flowers that you captured in #3. If only more of them were behind the background versus in the foreground, that shot would have been top notch.
The framing around that leaf is interesting also. It's somewhere in the middle there. I would go with less of the frame, or go heavy on the vignetting.
What does vignetting mean exactly?
Sorry about that. Vignetting is the shadows in the corner caused by light fall off which produces the effect. The border on that maple leaf looks similar to it (difference being that the border is all around the picture, whereas vignetting usually occurs in the corners).
In other words, I would either go without it, or really accentuate it.
