Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

That first shot is great (love the character and expression) and I also like the third (if I was super picky the first could have been framed a little lower and the third could perhaps have done with a touch extra dof or focusing slightly further in). A nice series.

Nice set of images, however that turkey is one fugly bird :)

As mentioned, I would crop the first to remove some of that dead space on the top of the image, also all the images feel very 'warm' which is not a bad thing but I would consider backign that off a fraction.

The third image is the pick for me, it has context and good composition and holds the viewer quite well, the extra dof might have helped but really its not a showstopper for me.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Reminds me of a certain movie about a pig!
Wonderful shots.
