Nice composition of repeating shapes; an example of "abstract" using recognizable objects.

Beautiful job with the detail in the dark tones. I'm not usually that big a fan of the blurred-water look, but it goes well with the sharply-defined rocks.

Looks like it could be in a brochure for the seaside restaurant.

Storms over the Mississippi

Pretty good detail considering how dark and foggy it is

I think the dark foreground on the very left is a little distracting from the main subjects; you might want to try a square crop starting just to the left of the boat to direct attention more towards the river and its "denizens."

Another possibility would be to crop off a bunch of sky and give it a panoramic aspect to emphasize the width of the river and bridge.

Still looks kind of cold, but a "cool" spot anyway.

Slow Light

Given that the Advanced Editing rules applied, I think I'd have cropped it just above the cars and cloned out the "Parking" sign in the right foreground. As an architectural photo I'd like it better without the banner, but for representing your area now I guess it's appropriate. I do like the lighting.

The drift of spray framing the building makes for a nice effect;.

I might try and rotate a bit to the left to get the axis of the center windows vertical ... nevermind! I checked and I think that the rocks on the left and the lighting are creating an illusion of tilt, but the center is quite vertical -- nice job!

Early Light On Willow Lake, Lombard, IL.
by TommyMoe21

Comment:
I'm not used to seeing those willows with that light/bright a color (early growth?), so it looks a little odd that way. Lovely pastoral setting, I find willows very photogenic. Good decision to fill the sky with the branches, but I think I'd take away the evidence of the shoreline from the lower-left by trimming a tiny bit from the laft and bottom.
