Mops

I think either including more of the yellow bucket or cropping it out altogether (I'm leaning toward the latter) would have made this work better for me. Also the very top could be cropped to eliminatae that piece of wood in the corner. I like the colors and textures of the mops but they could be much more vibrant. On my monitor the colors look a bit washed out. I wonder if you bracketed your exposures? This looks a tad overexposed.

Serene

This is nicely done but perhaps a bit too serene for me. It seems kind of static. I like the colors.

Not In Use

Very interesting. This grabbed my attention right away. I'm kind of distracted by the object emerging from between the tracks. I kind of wish the snow was more pristine so that the bikes were the only focus. The line of tracks nearest the bikes add interest but the other line is messier and ends up in a sort of blob at the top. I think cropping just beyond the first line of tracks would make a tighter composition, however a different mood would result.

This is lovely. It is very nicely lit and the composition is beautiful. The veiwers eye goes right to the baby's. The black and white was very well done. The subject is perfectly separated from the background. I kind of wish I could see the baby's feet but that is a nitpick. Beautiful.

This is lacking a bit in contrast. It seems to be all midtones with very little highlights and shadows. Adjusting the levels to deepen the reds and heighten the yellow in the center and along the rims of the inner petals would make a stronger statement, IMO. The bud at the top of the frame pulls focus from the main subject.

Beautiful composition. I only wish the cyclist were wearing something bright to stand out a bit more from the background. Obviously not something under your control.

The windows of her soul

The model is beautiful and intriguing. I don't think this is quite successful though. Her eyes aren't quite focused enough. Or perhaps it is that they are too far away from the viewer to make a strong impact. Her full blue lips are what draw my focus. Also, she should have been separated more from the background to avoid
the shadows. A light pointed at the background behind the subject can eliminate those shadows. I don't care for the dark shadow under her jaw line.

I think that is body glitter on her shoulders and collar bone but it appears a bit overexposed and is reading more like dust to me.

I like the pose, the composition, and the model is beautiful. I think this is suffering from improper lighting mainly. Nice effort.

The background is blurred nicely--we recognize the objects which places the main subject in context and the color scheme is simple and pleasing. Nice job!

The River

A beatiful scene that sets a mood. I wish the fisher was wearing a red shirt or something so he stood out more from his surroundings but that's very likely something you had no control over. The water is a bit too contrasty--I'd like to see more midtones. Water can be a difficult subject to capture though.

Nice capture. Her expression is rapturous.
