This works really well as high key or high contrast or whatever it is!

This worked out pretty well as a high contrast shot even though it wasn't taken as such. Thanks for sharing your steps!

A Visit to the Dr.

This is my kind of image and woefully underrated. I like the "perspective" - but it's the angles, the curves, the lines, the reflections, and the black and whitedness of it that I really like. Quiet and understated - and well done in my humble opinion.

Tranquillity of Nature

This is quite beautiful, Brian! The colors are wonderful. What I really like best is the tree on the left - where it is in relation to the rest of the picture, and the fact that you didn't include all of it. It creates both a sense of mystery in a way, and a sense of balance, with the tree on the edge to the left and the water approaching from the right. The photograph definitely speaks softly of tranquility!

Sailing Under The World

Heh! Should have known this came from an Aussie, since it's upside down! Well executed shot - the blue plate/bowl has a texture which works well to depict "water", and you did a very good job keeping the texture of the ice cream. Hopefully, you got to eat the evidence after the picture was taken.

Now this is very clever! Well-executed, too. Lovely colors in the sunrise and the black really accentuates that. Nicely done!

I don't know what the original looked like, but I quite like this version. Love the textures and the muted tones. Very pleasing.
