Interesting patterns on the blade of that knife. Nice high contrast still life. Might pop a little more with a tighter crop, not sure all that negative space is enhancing the shot. Overall, nice.

Looks fine to me, good detail in darks and nothing blown out.

Day 1 Pru

Nice tones and good clarity. There's a sense of imbalance here which jars strongly when presented with a reflected image. Your intent? Perhaps this image would be better served by playing around with the crop?

Nice glow indeed. If possible you should steal this thing and get it in front of a solid black background. I do like the reflections though, they add another dimension to the image.

Very nice. High contrast always tends to catch my eye, and this is no exception. I don't know why you tonemapped this, but that's your choice.

Day 01 - Hand in Hand

I see you tonemapped this, in which case I have to say it is the first tonemapped image that hasn't made me want to throw a rock through my monitor. Wonderful exposure. The water on the brick street gives just the right amount of highlights to make the darker areas of the image pop. Quite nice.

I'd go with the top crop suggestion as well, but this is really well done. Great range of tones, good capture of shadows. Has a very 'real' feeling to it with a strong sense of depth in the image. did you dodge the concrete rim of the hatch a bit or is that the way the light was falling? If dodged, very subtle job that works really well.

This is a really interesting study. Were I in this hotel, I think I'd spend a couple hours shooting everything in sight. Love the textures.

Nice (sic)

One has to wonder why the reflection of a dark gray sky is a cheery blue.
