From Tree to Table

Pie looks yummy. Flat lighting avoids shadows, but at the expense of less texture and depth than ideal.

Strongly emotive. Love the combination of snow fall, sad expression on the carving, and evocation of memorial. Bonus that all is grey.

Masking Shades of Gray

Nice choice of image content, unusual, detailed, elegant, as well as grey.

Clever combination, and interesting display of your images, including the one duplicated in the background. First thought this was actually outside, then thought fingers need gloves, then noticed the similarity of background and foreground grey images.

In response to your post:
Choice of f/3.5 caused a narrow depth of field. Some of the waves are sharp, but the lighthouse is a bit fuzzy as a result. With that fast shutter speed, you had lots of room to use a narrower apeture. Choice of 35 mm lens ends up not wide enough for a sweeping oceanscape feeling but not zoomed in enough for the lighthouse to be the main subject. You position captures layer after layer of horizontal lines all the way across the image. That makes for a static feeling despite the waves and doesn't provide a path of interest for the eye to follow. Having the lighthouse almost all the way to the center makes this less dynamic too. Taking a different position to have the waves somewhat diagonal and the lighthouse more to the left would produce an entirely new feeling.

The colors are nice, and the subtle clouds do provide some interest. Might have processed to allow the top of the sky to be lighter, as a gradient from light blue to dark blue would provide another dimension of interest.

Love that snow

My eye has a hard time settling on a main interest point - landscape, or frosted frond, or tufts of snow pattern, or something else. I want the snow pattern to dominate, but it would need to be sharper for that to work.

Wish for more sharpness and better separation of hearts from background.

Refreshing to see when living with snow on the ground. I'm enjoying the diagonal composition and colors.

The Lady and The Ice Falls

Good example of the importance of having some element in the image provide a clue to the scale. It would be hard to appreciate the massive ice flow without including the person.

Amazing delicacy with good use of the negative space around the subject.
