The Commute

I think this is a pretty cool shot. Getting the person totally in frame would have been nice, but I still like it. I personally would have also tried to decrease the impact of the snow falling in front of the lens right behind the fellow, as it is somewhat distracting and you have Advanced Editing at your disposal.

Sunrise at Eternity Beach

Beautiful fine sand, nice golden light on the incoming surf. I like the silhouette on the rock. It seems as though you have some funkiness going on with the sand around your rock in the left foreground. It appears to be an aqua color...is this clipping? It would have been a simple clone job.

Retro in Red

Personally, I think your processing could have added quite a bit to this in order to accentuate the retro nature of the subject. A high contrast side lit shot in BW, some grain, or an aged sepia look, would all add to the retro nature of the shot.

Johnston Canyon Lower Falls

I enjoy the way the color of the stone contrasts with the rest of the scene. Having said that, I'm left wishing the falls comprised a larger portion of the scene. The golden light filtering through the trees is also a bit too bright and has blown. I think lowering your perspective would have helped to emphasize the falls as a subject matter.

Dirt Rider

This reminds me sorta of another portrait I commented on.... Pretty much everything I said there is true here (ironic if this ends up being the same photog lol). In addition, however, I'd like to see the bit of his head not chopped. I'd also consider bringing more of the motorcycle into the frame. It would strengthen things in regard to the "environmental portrait." I picture the shot being from low to the ground, looking up at the rider. Perhaps slightly backlit with fill light. I like everything about this except for the close crop.

Interesting cardinal shot, but focus needs to be sharper. I think birds do better either tack sharp or blurred quite a bit by motion. This one is a bit in the no-man's land between them. Nice action by the bird though, can't say I've ever seen a bird do that.

Bye bye 2009...

I like the setting you've chosen. The bricks add a nice texture, and the soft lighting is pleasing to the eye. I wish there was a bit more emphasis to the person, but I still like it.

A more careful placing of the light filtering through the bridge would have made this a bombshell photo. Waiting for the light to illuminate the child's face, for instance, would have been excellent. The blown patches on her dress serve as distractions instead of strengthening the scene using the ambient light. Having said that, the interaction and expressions are very good here.

House of Worship

Wow, that is one crazy lime green church. The colors of this are really unreal. The fisheye effect is pretty neat though, it really draws you into things.

I don't quite understand where you are going with this. I'm unsure of what your intended subject is, not because of the lack of focus, but because nothing has been accentuated by your choice of composition.
