Phew! Taken from a plane? Or did you hike up a mountain-top above the clouds and wait for the Sunrise? Amazing that there are clouds above and below and the warm tones and the silver linings (well - more like gold linings) are fantastic!

First Snow

A good title to a nice pic. The gentle S-curve of the road, the nicely white-spotted trees, the beautiful lamp posts and the interesting tread patterns on the road - all add up to a very neat almost-rural setting. The sign board doesn't distract much, but the OOF lights from a building in the top center are very distracting and keep the picture from giving a serene feeling. Also, would've liked the shot from a tad wider angle, to cover the left edge of the road as well - that would've involved the viewer more and be more inviting to walk along the road.

Water Dances

What a lovely autumn setting! The underexposed woods leading to a bright clearing in the end, the still rocks facing the might of raging waters and turning them around, the dead leaves with the last gasp of colors laying on the black surface - lots of interesting elements that add up. I wish the flowing water was exposed for either a longer or a shorter duration. Right now, I believe it's in between, neither smooth enough nor raging enough.

Scary! I wouldn't want to be staring at this pic for long :) Well taken.
The picture feels a little unbalanced to me and my eyes tends to be distracted away from the eye (although that could be just because it's scary to me:) Maybe a little more room on the left and right and pushing the eye to a third might help? Or tilting the pic so that the line is diagonal instead of horizontal? Not sure myself though.

A very intense pic with the exposure setting the right mood. A ribbon winner in my book.

Wow! Did your best with an extremely difficult exposure scene. The wings are fabulous as are the eyes, but the slightly blown highlights are detracting from a nice image. Good title too btw.

Empire

Talk about symmetry! The pic goes very well with the title and the mood of the pic hits a sombre note - foreboding an 'evil' empire at that. And all those lines and their interplay - just fantastic!

Psychedelic! The reflections on the ripples are so amazing by themselves that the duck gets lost in the pic - very very cool! Disco!

Domes… Arch and Arcades

Wow! What a fantastic capture! The tiny people impress the immense scale of the place and the lighting/shadows accentuate the amazing shapes. A ribbon winner in my book. I wish the title matched the standard set by the picture.
