1-5 are beautifully captured and appealingly presented.
Number 6 leaves me cold for the simple reason that grey squirrels are such pests, but the sharpness, colours and framing/cropping are excellent. For my tastes, the background graininess is a little excessive and distracting and, were it mine to play with, I would have used the selection tool or a layer mask to isolate the the squirrel and tree and then applied additional NR to the background.
Number 7 as 1-5 save for the blow highlights in the wing feathers.
If I had to pick two to live with it would be 3 and 5 and if only one it would be 5.

The swan on the black background is beautiful.

Great set but the swan in the dark background stands out for me, beautifully posed and captured. You must have got really close to the owl, was it a tame one?

Thank you for your feedback and yes the owl was tame.

Not too keen on 4 and 7 but the others are very good. 4 seems a rather messy composition and 7 looks too burnt out in the feathers. My favourites are 2 and 6.
