Birds and boats do it for me!

i think 2 could be a little better if the contrast was enhanced and the blacks were pumped a little bit. Just looking to see more distinction between each feather.

No 4 is my favorite boat shot. Good colors, good lighting.

I'm not convinced you have the best crop in #1. It does balance the colors nicely though so I'll grant you it is subjective.

#5 focus looks maybe too close.

#6 would work better with a bit more DOF (to the first bird on right) so the eye would move back and forth more. The blurred bird means it pulls my eye less.

Otherwise, nice shots!

I would prefer to see more DOF in the boat shots.
