Looking in the Shed at Night

You need to clean up that shed! ;-) Even though there's nothing really white or black inside the shed, the contrast is pretty good. The glare from the light on the windows add to this shot. What is the actual focus, my eye keeps wandering but not really staying anywhere.

Stunning In Any Color

I'm sure you'll get "but why would you take a b&w shot of a flower" kind of comments (I am for my flower shot). I think if there's contrast and texture in the shot, b&w can work well, your photo is an example of that. I would probably not place the roses in the middle of the shot though, I'd prefer to see them in the bottom right hand side for example. Also, the rose on the left seems slightly blown out - would it have been possible to adjust the lighting for that a little?

Mystery

Unfortunately, this shot is a little too mysterious for my liking. Just a little lighter or a little more focus would've helped. Also, if you could've cropped out the light gray bar over the girl's head.

Did you rotate the photo so we could read the guy's shirt better or for some other reason I don't get? Also, the bright light in the lower left corner is distracting.

These are Geranium Leaves?

Nice contrast. Leaves in front don't seem to be quite as much in focus as some of the ones in the back. Needs a center. A bug on a leaf or something like that would hold the interest a little longer for me.

Not a bad shot, but unfortunately, a better one was submitted. Light background would've given more contrast and polishing/drying the pepper would've helped, too, IMO. I like how close you moved in

I like it when the sun rays shine through the clouds that way. Having said that, I think that works better in color. There's not enough here to hold my interest, unfortunately.

Up close

IMO, there's not enough contrast in here (sky vs. flowers, yes, but the flowers are just similar shades of gray). I do like the composition (cropped flowers at the sides to frame). I think the whole tulip on the left should be the one in focus.

Is This Right?

LOL, was the hair color so bad that you had to switch to b&w??? Very great humor shot. I like the composition, and the angle. Just wish her face was a little lighter.

Snuck

Hehehe, this is how I like to take people shots, too, when they don't know... ;) Interesting composition. I think this shot would've benefited from the alternate cropping (cropping some off the left side to make it 640x480) so that there's less gray in the picture. Also, if you could've snuck this shot while the guy was looking up so his eyes were visible - now that would've been cool.
