Beat it!

I keep looking at this one, wondering what to say. It doesn't immediately jump out to me, but somehow it does work. I think what feels 'off' to me is the coloring. The rust color contrasts with what I think should be appropriate for a kitchen utensil. A blue overlay would lend to a nice cleanliness... but maybe that's not the intent here.

Bottle Model

From the thumb I didn't think I'd like this. But I do, and I cannot exactly say why. I think it has something to do with the good focus on the front of the ship sails, and the contrasting color to the nondescript background. Though I would argue that the back end of the bottle could be cropped off, so it would not demand so much eye attention and take away from the left half of the image...

The right half of this image is really nice... but I get lost in the left, which demands more attention from the eyes. The halves of the image clash.

An interesting abstract. I think you did transform something mundane into something exciting. I enjoy that your title did not completely give away the subject.

Great simplicity. Love the color too. The crease of dark color across the center is what really makes this photo. Without that subtlety, it would be nothing.

Something I really enjoy about this personification The 'tear' is also quite interesting.

I think this should have been #2. Great tones and a really nice composition.

Divine Protector of the Sands

Dramatic shot, but I don't understand it. The comp doesn't seem to fit right. My eyes get stuck on the right structure, and I therefore don't get to enjoy the sky. Then I look at the strange pose of the man... is he standing at attention?

Deserted and Dilapidated

A nice subject, but a very uninteresting POV. Get down, get creative, get close or get far. As for processing, overall pleasant, but I think it could use some extra contrast to bring out the subjects. Since they are darker than the surroundings, it makes it more challenging to bring your attention in to them.

The Last Tea Party

Comment:
Looks staged to me. Not sure what the concept really is here... what tea party? Why is it the last one, and why did they upturn the pot before they left?
