Contest Photos up for Critique

Hi,

I wasn't sure where to put these; the Field Herping & Wildlife or the Photography forum? Considering the Photography forum has never earned a thread from me, I figured I'd post it here.

I'm going to participate in a Texas wildlife photography competition. No worries folks, I'll be reppin' the herpers in this contest.

I've photoshopped all these photographs with Sharpen, Despeckle, Saturation, Curves, Contrast, and Brightness. Please tell what I can do to enhance the photos further.

It's too bad Photobucket rapes the photos, though.

Composition, exposure, focus...its all there!

I think I'll enter all four... I still have until october 1 to outdo myself.
