Thanks for the comments Smile

They're all shot on a Nikon D300s.

Beautiful! When I saw the first one I thought "That's not Oxford!" Smile But I recognise one or two others. Is that Port Meadow in No 3?

Yep, 3 and 7 are both Port Meadow.

#5 jumps out at me not only for the colors (which are spectacular) but also for the definition between the tiny leaves. I think most 21mm lenses would turn the scene into mud.

I like #2 very much (my favourite), and also the delicate nuances of #3

In #5 I like much the composition, but I think that the colours are quite over the top. The super saturation
makes all the greens (moss, ferns, leaves) look the same, and there is a part of trunk that looks almost as orange as the leaves.
Also bringing all colours to the maximum saturation has the effect of flattening the natural depth suggested
by the composition.
In my opinion, of course.

#2 is also one of my favourites that I've ever taken. It's hard to put my finger on exactly why though; I think there's something about the tension in the lines and the contrasting tones which just works well.

Point taken about #5. I also often think I went overboard with the saturation. In fairness it was partly caused by a weird inconsistency in the colours in Opera on my macbook, which caused me to oversaturate the colours in Lightroom to try and get them looking correct after upload; when I then viewed the uploaded image on my desktop it looked too saturated, and that is the version shown here. Oh well, live and learn. I guess the moral of the story is not to do colour editing on my laptop. I appreciate the CC though.
