Initial Impression: Wow! That's an "in your face" shot if I've ever seen one!

Detailed analysis: The lighting is great and I love the misty fog. I'm assuming this was some type of fountain and a long exposure. If that's the case, great job! The perspective is very good and provides the statue a very strong sense of presence. I agree with the comments on the building in the background, but I honestly don't see how you could have avoided it and still achieved the same effect. The title is perfect for the image and really helps punctuate the effect of the image.

Overall Impression: Great shot. Very surreal and powerful.

Good job!

Natures Rhapsody - a place to unwind.

Looks like a great place to go, but the image seems a little busy to me. This shot has great potential under much different circumstances. I would recommend trying this exact same shot in the early morning (right after sunrise) with a much slower shutter speed. The moving water will have a very soft, magical feel to it. If you're lucky, you will have some steam coming off the water and the lighting won't be so harsh.

OK, I had to flip it to be sure. Good reflection image. I'm sorry, but it doesn't really feel like a "destination" image to me, and that's only because it's a reflection. Perhaps the same image (not reflected) would have more appeal for me on a personal level.

I like the sepia tones, but the model looks way too posed. His skin tones look a tad offish (too light). The placement of the guitar case seems unnatural.

Destination: Sky

Very crisp image. I really like this one a lot. My only nitpicks are the very tip of the left wing is cropped off. It also seems like the light is coming from in front of the swan. Maybe a golden yellow hue would give it a warmer look.

Where?

Funny, but IMHO lacks visual interest. The sky is too bright.

Nice crisp image and good composition, but to me it lacks interest.

I like the way you've framed the moon, but I'm undecided on how much. Maybe if the framing was a little darker, it wouldn't be competing with your main focus so much.

If it wasn't for the flower in the foreground, this would look very much like a regular snapshot. The flower adds a much needed element of interest. I just wish the lighting was a little better on the flower.

Great illusion and I love the colors. The subject seems a little small and a little too centered on the horizontal. I would like to see less foreground since it really does nothing to contribute to the overall image and perhaps a slightly tighter crop. I wouldn't take anything off the top though.
