Actually, looking at this again, I think it's quite nice!

Very nice, I like the star effects and the motion blurred lights. Seems to be a slight tilt to the right you might want to adjust.

Very nice! I like this one very much, but you might want to burn in, or use layers and layer blend multiply, to work on the overexposed areas on the foreground tower.

The good / bad / ugly ???

Returning for comment. Love the lighing, and the wincing glaring look. The background is a bit distracting here and maybe not the right setting for the foreground "mood". But it's an excellent portrait, so on second review, bumping up. Now one of my top picks (though there are a lot of them up there now)

VERY Shy About Self-Portraits

Returning for comment. Love the pose and the smile, one major technical issue: for this type of shot, your face is out of focus slightly--looks like autofocus got your shoulder, and the DOF was just too small to get your face. Other minor issues are the light/flash glare on the earing, and possibly a small color balanace issue -- maybe from having different types of light sources (for example, the tones on your forehead are very different than the tones on your face.)

But getting back to the pose and smile, this is a very happy photo. A portrait tells us about someone: I suspect you are a very "happy" person in general, or at least that's what shows through here. So that part of this shot is a real winner. Bumping up on second review.

Very artistic take. The eyes are haunting and the overall glow is a nice finish. Bumping up!

Returning Again. This keeps haunting me from the thumnail. Ok, you win, bumping from 8 to 10. Please don't haunt me :-) Very nice....

A Painter's Thoughts

This has some great colors but for me the blue and white are a different mood. Perhaps try a crop to the upper right 1/4 and see if you like that. Or the right half. I like that side better!

But again, just my thoughts (and my own personal tastes).

Ghost in the Mix

I find this one very interesting. I like the objects and the color mix. The only thing I see that might be improved is the graduations of tones. It seems to be dithered, perhaps part of processing. You might play with this a bit more, if you see what I'm saying.

But abstracts are very subjective, and I do like this. The colors are really striking, and the objects keep your interest.

nice and sharp, but the lighting is not controllled; too stong in places, and a big shadow cast in background. The angle ofvthe capture and the angle of the lighting are not very flattering to the subject. i like your profile pic much better!
