Alone Again

I can see the idea behind this but I personally don't think it's been pulled off as well as it could have been.
I find the background very distracting.
I don't like the strong orange tone.
The decision on which parts of her arms/ legs/ hands are included and which aren't seems a little abitrary.
The image seems unsharp.
That said the idea itself is a nice one.

Desolation

The clouds are very menacing and this makes me think of the future as depicted in the Terminator films.

A well selected close up study. So much time is conveyed by their neglected condition.

Troubled Horizon

This one has grown on me after multiple viewings. I feel I'd like to see more of the road, just for it to be further in to the frame, but of course, I don't know what lies to it's right. If it's more of the same I think it would work. I love the shapes of the steam or smoke emissions and the darkened sky.

Flying Solo

Nice idea and interesting graduation from white to dark across the diagonal. Position of bird within frame feels a little unbalanced - this is one that I think would benefit from a rule of thirds cross-section position.

Stone in Tree

Wonderful textures and makes me wonder about how the grave came to be abandoned to the extent that the tree grew up through it.

Oh but this is too beautiful - it makes me dream of holidays and summer nights and romantic walks and all things wonderful. Ignoring that, since others might see loneliness here, depending on their viewpoints, it's a lovely image, nice focal point in the bird nad nice reflections of light and colour in the water. I like the wavy line of coloured water.

Good composition and nice content, good focal point, nice toning.

Old Mine Remnants

Comment:
Nice textures and colours and the contrast between earth and metal is good. Composition is interesting but just doesn't feel quite balanced to me - I think it would be worthwhile playing around with the position of the three balls.

My Uncle Miguel

Love the portrait but lighting doesn't work for me. On one level one could say that having him in the shadow and not in the light is part of the sadness but to me it just seems that it's lacking in fill-in light. What wonderful expressive features though - you've captured that superbly.
