Without trying to give marks (or make ad hominem remarks), I would agree
in general with the above comments. There's an attempt to see things in
a fresh way, and mostly, as you say, Jeff, with an eye to composition.

A few could do with revison, eg. http://zone23.net/?showimage=89
Here the alignment would be better with the verticals rather than the
horizontals. But the image isn't strong enough to bother.

But overall a pleasant set, combining simple record shots, racoons, owls
etc. with some good pictorial.

Perfect! JN: Recall the thread wherein you repeatedly could not provide
evidence as challenged by me, and you then resorted to slurs??
