Nice composition. Reminds me of the Corona TV spots. Too bad for the blown out whites.

Fishing

Great use of rule of thirds with this one. Your border is a bit distracting though. May wanna try this next time. In between the white and the picture itself, place a one pixel black border. It helps to keep the eye inside the frame and seperates the frame from the shot. And instead of white, try selecting a color from inside the frame. It can really accentuate the tones of the shot. Remember overall presentation is what seperates a ribboner from a top twenty...

Very nice shot. The deep tones make me wonder though... How much of this was real and how much was tweaked. Hope ya decide to show before/after.

My Adventure: Scenic Whale Watching

Alaska? You need to do some tone mapping or play around with levels/curves to really make this pop. I would love to play with the original after the challenge to see what I can do with it if you don't mind...

Fishin'

Two things I think take away from a potentially great shot. Fist is the 'polaroid' frame that you put on it (uneven at top and bottom) and the second is the lack of fishing line. I can kind of see it going up the rod but don't really see it going into the water. Being translucent like fishing line is, I don't have any pointers into how to make it show up.

Picnic in the mountains

A landscape (unless it is a really potent, excellently executed landscape) still needs a subject to be a good photograph. This by itself, while a nice peaceful scene, needs that subject to make it pop...

Is this someone from the show? I have never even seen an episode. I don't have HBO... Nicely lit shot but I'm not sure if the black shirt on black background works here...

Got chased by evil swans...

Comment:
The underexposure here really detracts from the shot. Trouble is, I don't have any idea how I would go about exposing this properly. I'm sure the ducks and swans were not about to cooperate and hold a pose for 2 or 3 seconds...
