Not only another super set, but great captions as well! 2, 5, 7 & 8 are my favourite images, and 1, 5, 6 & 10 for the captions.

Personally I think that a CPL is a must have but be careful with UWA lenses as the effect can get a bit extreme in the corners, and I have a variety of grad NDs for landscapes.
Most of my lenses do have a protector on the front just for safety, except for my HD DA 55-300 WR which really doesn't like any glass on the front of it. It's the only one of my lenses that seems to be particularly sensitive, but there must be others out there.
As with John, I also always have the lens hood on.

Ha, Ha!
Actually it's the seedhead of Scabiosa stellata - the 'Paper Moon' (or sometimes star-flower pincushion). Thanks to RHS Wisley for the useful ident.

No. 4 - Like the others I'm afraid, it doesn't work for me.
No.5 is back to your usual standard. I think you've controlled the exposure really well. It would have been really easy to lose the detail in the shadows, but they're all there. I also like the structure in the rock and the detail in the sand in the foreground. Did you use a polarising filter, as the top right looks a little bit 'too dark blue'?
Of your set, the owl just shades it for me, but I like Nos. 1 & 5 almost equally.

Great detailed shot including detail in the sky, ditto Davids remark about the line at the bottom.
Well done.

A pair of lovely images, that look pin sharp to me. I also particulraly like the background to the first one.
The second one may be a 'White Cheeked Honey Eater', but I prefer Simon's description. Perhaps he has invented a new format for the clasification of birds!

I spotted this plant last month near Granada, Spain. Can anyone identify what it is?
