Very nice, the high contrast actually works here! Beautiful landscape and nice timing.

I'm not really sure if there was a particular message you were going for, but this does come off as a bit exploitative and opportunistic. If there is a message other than "hey, look what i found", I don't see it. Sorry.

Great timing, the contrast certainly adds drama. OTOH, the contrast is a bit harsh. I rarely advocate for soft focus and vignettes, but a tender moment might work better with that style. OTOOH, a rebellion against convention adds an edge to an otherwise somewhat cliche shot. As you can probably see, I'm a bit conflicted here.

I love the colors and pattrn here, but the overall image appears a bit flat. Pulling up the black point slider in a levels adjustment may add a bit more contrast or "pop".

Can't tell if the lake/ocean is frozen or if it's just contrast pushed in post. Still, it does convey a mood of stillness or even lonliness. I'd like to see the framing pushed a bit to the right. Centered compositions often generate a clinical appearance that tends to detract from the mood of the image.

Ok. High contrast. Visually interesting, but the question remains... why? What does this say? I'm afraid I'm confused.

Technically exellent! The compositon really works, but I have to admit that I find these shots really creepy.

Dangerously close to exploitation, but the composition is pleasing, and the message not entirely negative. There is hope in the symbolism of a lone dove/pigeon. Technically well done, if a bit under exposed.

Bump the contrast a bit further. It's a great scene, but it lacks ... "pop". I'd also loose a bit off the bottom to square it up a bit. This same scene about 30-60 minutes later in the evening/earlier in the morning might scream ribbon.

A bit high on the contrast, but I can still tell it's a beautiful scene. I like the duck's wake, It leads the eye into the frame.
