Good use of a familiar symbol; good lighting, exposure, and color scheme. It's a little odd having the quotation on the monument readable, since it's different from your caption. In this one case, I might have considered blurring the type on the monument slightly.

Maybe this will motivate me to work on this technique -- I have a couple of good flying bird shots in the last month.

Perspective distortion (?) on the right bothers me some. I might have tried cropping a square out of this, and put it on a vertical layout with two lines of type below, maybe shortening it to
Walk Slowly,

A beautiful image and presentation. I think more black at the bottom and moving the type down would make it a more traditionally poster-shaped.

Tired of Dead Ends?

I glad to se some people using "non-pretty" pictures; this is appropriately "gritty" for your topic. For some reason the inner, light border by the brick bothers me a little, maybe because it almost but doesn't quite mimic the mortar lines. I'd like to see this with the inner black border touching the bricks.
Also, you have a typo or syntax error -- the next-to--last word should be "than" (but I don't deduct for typos!).

Ditto. Hope your GF has recovered ...

Sphere and Fractals

I think all caps is fine in this case ...

Here's a link to the "original" image before applying the color effect to the sphere. The "Fractals" in the title refers to the bamboo branches and leaves more than to the pattern on the sphere. Overall I was happy with the response, or perhaps the lack of what I expected to be a "Too Digital Art!" response ... Thanks for your comments!
