Nice lines and reflections, but the processing is rather over the top for my taste.

Fun shot, but not the best lighting. It might "pop" a bit more with more light on the front of the car.

I like the textures and shapes here, but this has the look of an HDR processed image where "all" the contrast and interesting light has been "sucked out" of the picture by overuse of that process to the whole picture when only part needed it. My suspicion is that you applied HDR processing in order to show the details of the car's interior, which is great. It adds to the picture's interest. But having done that it would have worked better IMO if you had created a mask for the HDR layer and controlled what areas it was applied to. In effect I think this picture calls for somewhat different processing to be applied to the car's interior, the rest of the car, then to the rest of the image.

I like the shallow "steps" and the position of the water falls relative to each other in this shot. They draw my eye into the picture. Great combination of textures too with the falling water, the moving mater, the leaves, trees, and other vegetation.

Just browsing prompted by your posting about portfolio space. I really like the processing on this, and the dark blue of the hulls. It reminds me of what Robert bear_music does with his images of the fishing boats in Provincetown, Cape Cod. He ramps up the details in the clouds as well, as I suspect you have done. I was a west country lass for many years so I'm wondering what harbor this was taken at.
