Great idea, great composition, but the difference in brightness hurts it in my opinion. The contrail in the sky does as well. I would have removed that from the picture and brightened up the right hand side just a little to make up if the difference. Also the buildings look a little over exposed as the lights in the windows are starting to blossom a bit too much. Dont take this the wrong way though... I really like what you did.

I find the birds a little distracting due to the 'smooth' colors of this shot. Everything seems to flow very well except for those little dots! I think some would say there is a bit too much exposure in the sky but I think it works well due to the diminished colors used. It is a nice shot... I just hope it was dim due to clouds and not smog!

This is a nice shot. The only thing I could say against it is the brightly lit side of the building is too much compared to the dim valley... either the house should be dimmed a little or the valley brightened a little to make the gap between them smaller in my opinion. But even still this is nice. I'd love to spend a week relaxing there!!

Wow, this is a very nice portrait. Too bad the dog didn't look a little more relaxed as the female subject does but I know how hard it is to control animals. But the expression on the subject is great, the colors and composition add to it... I just cannot find anything but a few minor nit-picks with this. Great!!

Praying Mantis

The DOF was probably your intent but I think having a little bit more of the mantis in focus would be a little better; specifically in the 'arm' area. Other than that I think this is a great shot; you have good colors, good layout (though that first shroom may be a little dominant (towering) over your subject, and I can tell you put forth a lot of effort on it. Nice work.

Nice picture but nothing to do with rain other than you calling it a "rain puddle"...

In my opinion there is just nothing 'striking' about this photo. It looks like a quick snapshot. It is a good idea but the composition is just not there.
