Lost Days of Summer

Your exposure needs work. The tree is too dark (hiding the black bike seat) while the background is too bright (turning details white). Not sure how I'd fix those problems, but they definitely are such.

Coolin' Off Country Style

A good rule in photography - take 3 steps closer to the subject. In this case, you wanted the dog, but I don't think it adds anything. I would have zoomed/moved closer to the kids because from here, you can't see their faces and the center of interest is the .. water?

Needs more contrast - and perhaps a hue shift to turn your sky more blue.

Summer Means Horse Racing

I live in Saratoga - Summer DEFINITELY means horse racing! I am skipping the Travers to comment here, so let me make it good:
The whole picture needs contrast. The left side also needs more color and perhaps a center of attention. The 6 horse is most prominent but his rider is gone. The other riders are barely seen. I understand how hard it is to get horse pictures, having taken hundreds at the track this year, but I don't think this is the best you could get.

And now.. in Québec..

Ack! Someone tilted the lake! (Fix your horizon with a small rotation).
It needs a bit of contrast as well.

Neat Image will clear up that grain unless you like it (I don't know why). There are good tutorials on how to keep your details sharp and blur your non-essentials. Either way, good capture.

Excellent image. Nice perspective on the town - and the closeup subject is really interesting.

Picnic’s Cancelled

One of the best uses of non-flat negative space. I like the image and though it's not traditional negative space, the added sky presents a foreboding awe to the mood. 9

Excellent use of negative space. I like the composition and the colors. I wish there was a bit more contrast to darken the birds a bit, but that doesn't detract from a solid 9.
