Here's a true oddity again. Watch how the fire escape constrasts to the masonry work. Great find. I'd try to open up the shadows a bit.

06 - Oil at a Slant

Tough picture to comment on. I like how you positioned your focus diagonally across the frame. The combination of colors works well, but I think that the larger oil bubbles are a little big, as is more evident from the overhead shot.

Beautiful location, but almost impossible to capture correctly, even on a cloudy day like you apparently encountered. I lime the way framed it with the leaves at the top, the leading line of the road, the diagonals from the mountains all work in favor of the picture. The branches at the bottom do not add much.

Amazing how you turned a completely boring picture into an interesting, beautiful composition. I really like the result, and would have never even believed there was any value in your original. Not just value, a true jewel!

What amazes me in your sports shots is the quality of light you manage to capture: faces well defined, shirts well-exposed, no harsh shadows and exposure overall spot-on. And thanks to your long lens a nice separation from the background.

Nice view, boss (6/52)

Hoover at eye level, great shot with very effective DoF. I like the diagonal composition, and the effective use of the golden ratio, With the first square formed by Hoover and the second one by the background. Best Hoover shot so far, I think.

The way the curtain is defined is what I like best in this shot. Great lighting in the top left corner, and also on the metal parts on the box. Strong and simple, and maybe worth simplyfying even further. The lighting quality in my view gets lost towards the bottom right where it looks like you had to dodge quite a bit to get more or less even light. You could do away with this, and I am also not sure if the wall adds enough to keep it.

I like the determined look on his face, highlighting the necessity of this smoke. The second person is a nice addition, but unfortunately on the wrong side of his stare: the first guy looks to the frame, a little more on the left would have created more room for his view. But I realize you have to work with what is presented to you, and the light is beautiful here which is a great asset to your picture.

I'm probably too much of a nerd to appreciate this. But from what there is to be seen, all the interest is in the lower left quadrant which leaves the upper and right hand side orphaned - I'd try cropping them out.

Edited because I swapped left and right

Strange lines and shapes, but yellow and blue are always a good combination.
