Perhaps a bit of a shoehorn for this challenge, but regardless, a brilliantly creative eye. To see the proportional similarity between the post and tower takes talent. The bird droppings on the lamp post also adds a humbling sense to it as it aspire to greatness.

To improve the image... I think a smaller aperture would help bring both foreground and background into focus. Also, a UV and/or polarizing filter could help cut through the haze which is robbing you photo of much contrast.

We Put The Bad In Badminton

I'm obviously loosing too much of my wit. My first thought was, but that's a tennis net, not badminton. Not until a few seconds later did it hit me that was the whole point.

I looked around a bit before realizing the other half of the partnership. It could have worked better if the cheese was more unique. What you have looks like butter patties. Perhaps a round of Chevre or a wedge of Gruyere would do.

It appears that the photo is tilted to the left. That is a common mistake for new photographers but it can easily be fixed by using the rotate function available in all but the most basic photo editing software programs. Besides that, I really like the lighting. It brings out a natural and beautiful skin tone. The shading from the cheekbones is very well captured.

And in case you were sitting there shaking your head... yes, I am joking about the tilt. It's an interesting perspective and it works well.

I love the way the iris looks in B&W. It's like sun rays out of the pupil.

Niagara Falls at Night

The falls are spectacular. I am not a big fan of the skyline however. It doesn't really tie in with the photo for me.
