Some really nice shots, bright colourful and sharp. I do have a question, were you using a CPL, just it's curious how many different shades of blue the sky was. While all of this shots are nice, I'd like to see some more with the ground, or human elements invovle (hopefully you have some of those you can post too).

The last one is my favourite.

The two tigers were PP'd with Picasa2 (trying something different, turned up the saturation a bit) the other three are untouched other than crop. I've got lots with people, just going through them now

Human element here

Really good shots there. Good subject and composition plus the color and sharpness are really cool

Number two and three for me.

I love dragons, western or eastern, but without that bias, I like the way you still have the detail in it whilst capturing the whole kite in the frame.

The third I just like, specially with the sun peaking through those autumn leaves. Clone out the artefact in the upper third of the frame though.
