March...Harbinger of Spring.

I like the idea of the light coming through the flowers. However, I think the front two could have benefited with a little of fill light. They just aren't as strong as the rest of the picture. It also would be interesting with a little more black background and placed off center. Your yellow and black combination is very effective.

I love the scene. Since it's advanced challenge, I'd play with the shadow/highlights option a little more though, bringing up the flowers & down the lighting in the trees.

October, the Month of the Rooster

Fun & clever idea. I brought it into photoshop to play a little, and I'd recommend selecting the background and lightening it to almost a white. I think keeping the background white, or perhaps using a softer brown/beige for a backdrop would make it stronger. The grey tone doesn't work as well with the wonderful browns in the rooster.

Seems too over saturated with the pinks. It's an amazing sky, but the extreme pink in the water is a little off-putting

Nice shot. Another one that makes me feel cold!

Seems a little too close to me. I'd be interested to see what it looked like a little farther out. (It was odd, but I had to move back to really focus on it. )

Pubs - The Sail and Anchor - February

I love the setting, but the shadows seem to make it too busy. Actually, it might be the combination of the shadows and the tree/leaves. Perhaps try a closer crop, getting rid of the tree and staying with the tables, door & shadows. I think it would look cleaner.

Clever. But I didn't get a warning that there was nudity in this shot! :)

Nice job. the sun seems a little bright to me, (and that could very well be because I have a headache at the moment, so take it with a grain of salt) but I especially like the shadow coming toward me.
