Hrmm, not sure what you were going for here, but the processing to the sky takes focus away from your intended subject...the sky is also too purple.

Great colors. I can't imagine why you cut the top of the flower off. The DOF is probably just a tad low in this one to bring out the flower to its fullest. Try bumping up a notch in aperture...certainly the background would still be out of focus. Like I said, great colors, 6

It's a decent shot, but compositionally, there's just nothing strong to hold attention. Even when dealing with 'macros' or 'close shots' -- you can still pay good bit of attention to composition and rule of thirds or leading lines -- just have to get a bit more creative. Anyway...6...good job, but could be better if you spent more time thinking about it.

Don't you just HATE those stupid banners they hang up? I mean that is like a landmark for the city!

CONGRATS!!!!!

You captured the beauty of the bridge much more than myself. Great shot, Alan!

edit: and might I add -- quite a scary vantage point that late at night!!!

Looks pretty good. I noticed you had a lot of shots published, so I'm not going to try and act like I know more than you here, but I did read recently, that the best time to shoot a car is right as the sun goes behind the horizon.

Also, the reflections in the car are a bit distracting here, and take away from its color...I think there's also a slight white balance problem from the street lights -- maybe try shooting in RAW next time. Good work though, I love automotive photography, keep them coming.

Interesting photo. Shows curves -- good use of shadow and light -- but I think this one is just begging for a little more light and a little less shadow -- at least from my point of view. Very good though -- something I hope to have the opportunity to shoot some day.

What a beautiful shot! Something about shots like that with the moon in view just really draw me in. The dark clouds in the background add a sense of surrealism to the photo. Clearly a great example of waiting until the light is just right then taking the shot. Good work!

Really interesting photo. I like the high contrast, but I think the highlights could be toned down just a little, for my personal taste anyway. Very interesting though, and it's pleasing to the eye -- you should offer this in a print.

Interesting subject -- this shot could hold more interest if you had backed off a little bit, got the camera closer to the ground and found a nice angle. Maybe fire the flash to light up the tombstone to set it apart from what's behind it. Nice shot as it is though, just begging for a little more attention.
