Good Exercise

Sorry, I can not tell what this is and the title does not really help. It looks like a straight-on photo of some unkown metal device. Sometimes straight-on works, when there is a symetry or pattern to be emphasized. In this case you could try other angles to showcase the object angles and textures. Perhaps a close-up of all the patterns of the lower left of the object might have made a good abstract.

Bones

Not really an image that appeals to me. There are some interesting textures and lines going on here. However, the subject matter and/or the composition just did not jump out at me. Perhaps a closer zoom/crop on the lower right two bones would have been a interesting choice.

Not an image that really appealed to me. I assume you were going for a specific mood here with this pose but it looks awkward/odd to me rather than interesting. The white cushion on the left is the brightest object in the picture and my eye was drawn to it.

Cute. You caught the horse in a nice moment. The harsh lighting is really hurting you here. Not much you could do about it but it does detract from the scene.

Sunset Appreciation

I like the quirky composition of this one with the poses of the people. I like how the sky frames the top part. However I am not sure what the subject or reason for the photo is, although the boy ignoring the others is kind of neat. One of the useful tips I have gotten from photo classes is that odd numbers resonate with people more than even. Here you have 4 people and 2 cars.

Golden Mist

Comment:
I am of two minds on this images. From an artistic point of view the mist and the sunshine set a mood and make the photo interesting. On the other hand the muted colors and the featureless sky make it so that that interest is more fleeting than it could be. Perhaps if there were a zoom/view with more/larger siliouttes on the horizon it would have pumped up the sky.

Simplicity

Not sure that I find this image all that appealing. The focus and lighting are well done. Her eyes do draw you in and make you want to see more, however the bottom half of the image is the brightest part (draws the eye) and unfortunately the least interesting part. The static straight on pose does not really add any pizazz to the image. Shooting at a angle might be more interesting or perhaps a close up of just her face.

This is a hard image to comment on. I do like the B&W as the tones are really bright white and deep black. I assume that you were going for an artistic feel with the out of focus boy and with his eyes closed. However it does not really work for me. It just seems more odd than artistic. The tilt is also something that does not add to the photo.

Portaits can easily just be snapshots, but this one really captures who she is and give a glimpse into her. The pose and focus is dead on and make the photo come to life. Her cheeks and forehead are a little blown out or over smoothed. Great shot.

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.
