Lakeside Parking

Nice night scene, well composed and good sharpness. Looks like it could use some masking and dodging/burning to equalize the exposure between the foreground and the skyline ... actually I would not have noticed that except for your title, which made me look closer and I saw the boats, which I otherwise would have missed because they are too dark to really stand out as the subject of your shot!

The Stroll

Interesting processing, the high contrast and saturation reminds me of an old Polaroid or blurry shot from a Kodak Instamatic. The subject itself doesn't say much too me, however ... reminds me of a vacation snapshot taken without much thought with an old Polaroid or Kodak Instamatic. 7 for the processing, 3 for the subject leads to a 5; add one for creativity and you get a 6 from me.

Changing Colors

Good eye for an interesting subject. I think this might have been improved initially by cropping most of the sky above the clouds -- not much happening up there and the color is not that interesting. A smaller f-stop would also have helped separate the tree from the background. This composition also gives it a bit of a snapshot feel; a wider or tighter angle might have helped explore the subject a bit more (the tree in context with the whole streetscape and a single burst of red, or a tight telephoto shot on just the top branches showing the contrast between red and green).

Pencil Pine falls, Tasmania

Comment:
Nice long exposure on the falls. Try shooting this again in early morning or evening, or on a cloudy day ... the harsh midday light detracts from the overall image.

Summer

this has a nice graphic feel to it, like wallpaper (the real kind, not the virtual stuff!). I might have rotated it 180 degrees to have the butterfly facing up.

Our Future Is In Our Hands

Nicely focused and lit, and well composed image. A few leaves on the flower stem would have given this a more natural look, as if the plant were actually growing in the dirt.

Ships

beautiful B+W conversion with nice rich tones. Composition lacks a strong point of focus, though, with both ships cut in the middle.

Lily's Reflection

Nice reflection, but the colors are a bit too hot for my taste; try dialing the saturation back just a bit.
