Last Light at Land's End

There is a lot going on the photo, perhaps too much, but I find myself drawn in to all the details. The contrast of the hard rocks and the soft surf is very nice. The touch of color from the sunset accents it perfectly.

Face to Face

Just wow. Nice sharp focus on the bugs face and legs. Great pose with some implied movement.

Fire fighting

Great silouette of the copter and the bucket. The orange tone imply both the sunset and the fire. I might have copped off the top 10-20% to get the copter closer to being on a third. Also I wish the shot were taken a 1 second later to remove the overlap of the bucket and the sun. Overall a very powerful image

Allsaints on Broadway

I can not decide whether this is odd in an "artistic" sense or odd in a "it does not work for me" sense. Looks like a long shutter speed to get the motion blur, but also the focus is a bit soft as well. I do like the people and the maninkans, but the whole upper half of the photo seems unneeded. Perhaps crop it to a panled view on just the bottom half (just a smidge above top of the doors) would end up being a much stonger photo.

His biggest fan

Kind of a neat experiment with the partial desaturation. Not sure it really works for me. I really like the reflections of the man and the dog. The harsh lighting and the bland sky are somewhat distracting.

Things Are Going Swimmingly

Not sure I get this one. Is this a microscope of some sperm? Nothing is in focus so it does have an abstract feel. However an abstract usually does not have a vignette with it. Sorry if this is not much help, I just do not see what you were going for.

True Beauty

Something about this image did not resonate with me. Perhaps there is a HDR effect that leaves everything in the midtones. Perhaps the coloring on the face just muddles the animal's features (eyes not really visable). You could try gettting the animal at a different angle or doing some more interesting behavior to add a little pizzaz to the image.

did I ever tell you about my friend Spike?

Err.. Not sure what to say. It is certainly well composed. I thnk you either need more DOF here to keep everything sharp or less DOF to blur the face more. As a subject I do not really find much interesting about the photo. The title hints at humor, but if there is a joke here I did not get it.

Leaving

Often a good rule is to leave room for the subject to move into in the frame. In this case however, I like the position and framing of the subject. However the lack of sharp focus on the bird and large areas of bright white are holding this image back.

Well done. The upside down treatment works well here. I like the wavy abstract feel to it.
