Aesome sweet spot and great colors! The blur really gives this photo motion.

What's black and white and grey all over?? This image!! I think you did a great job here. To an untrained eye the lighting looks overblown, but the fact that it is consistently overblown throughout the image makes it purposeful. Combine that with the dark shadows of the black background and the greys of the foreground and this proves to be a well planned and thought out photo. A wonderful tri-tone image!

Abstractions #001

Wow!! If this is your first abstract, I can only imagine you will be putting on a workshop for all of us throughout the year! The color is very vivid, the wood grain adds great texture and the little knot looks like an eye!

Improvements?? If I could give any critque at all it would be to recompose to make the downward stroke of the woodstain to be in the right third of the image. That may not even have been possible.

Excellent job... How about a little backstory on the abstract to hear your thoughts on the image and setting it up??

Lion's Gate Bridge

This is a good landscape. You've got the rocks foreground, lights reflected at midrange and bridge and sky in the background all in good focus with excellent color. The only downfall with this is that all the leading lines lead you out of the frame. The wires and the line of the bridge all lead the eye to the top left corner where there is nothing interesting to look at.

Bright Nights

Wonderful perspective. I think the composition might have been stronger if you could have taken a few steps to the left and rotated yourself looking more straight at the building. I love the twinkle of the lights on the tree.

Solitude

I think the title Solitude would be better applied to this scene taken on a calm and peaceful day. The blowing snow gives this shot some intensity that doesn't fit with the given title. That aside, I like the B&W conversion as well as the composition of this shot.

Beautiful colors and wonderful composition. One improvement if possible would have been to get closer to avoid the rope at the bottom of the shot.

Did I see this same cat in the Love Challenge? If so, then here you really nailed the depth of field. I think this is an awesome portrait.

Golden

I can't see anything wrong with this except maybe that people might like to see the rule of thirds applied to the horizon line, rather than splitting the image halfway with the horizon line. That is a personal preference though. It has beautiful golden tones and the conposition with the streak of the sunset and the person is spot on.
