Not as innocent as he looks

Very funny. Great expression. Lighting is a little flat, and maybe a little extra processing would help this pop.

Very interesting greenhouse, although the image overall is very busy, with many subjects competing for attention.

A little saturation boost would help this one stand out better!

Nice collage of images. Great dcolours, and the poses work together really well. She will love it.

This is a nice image on it's own, but the critiques made by others are very true. For a nice inviting postcard-type image, you do need to warm up the colours and punch the saturation. Bring out the reds in the wooden railing, bring out the lush yellow/greens in the trees (important to remember that lush trees and grass are often more toward the yellow spectrum, not real green)

The overcast sky is nice and dramatic, but rather forbidding. You could overcome it with some nice tungsten warmth from the lamps (there's a little there around each light, but you could go much bigger, maybe even spilling into pools along the boardwalk. The patches of sunlight on the trees will also be helped with a little orange kick. But start with adjusting the overall colour balance more toward red/orange, and saturate it, and then work on local adjustments later. i'd also be inclined to darken in some more shadows under the trees on the left. The HDR look is nice, but it's also good to have areas of more shadow and less detail to help define the main lines.

Interesting shadows in the sky there. Must be a lot of dust to get these.

Nice crisp focus. Interesting choice of crop. I would probably have tended toward cropping off the shadow area, but this does give it a very different feel.

With the strong colours throughout this image, and not much real distinction between oranges and greens, the tree doesn't really stand out as the subject.

Nice BW tones. Some of the detail is blurred, perhaps from too-strong noise reduction?

Some lightening is needed in the editing here to bring out the details of the face. The one in the background looks rather eerie - like a ghost twin. :)
