Beautiful lighting. It's a shame the pole in the left background is visible, otherwise this is near perfect.

The Dove, Columbia's noted sculpture lands on a new corner.

*Composition (content)*
Looking at this artwork I notice that it is a symmetrical sculpture, yet you have the right side of it out of the frame. I don't know if there is a physical barrier that prevented you from getting the whole object in the frame, but having the whole thing centered would be more pleasing to the eye.

*Background*
Again, not knowing the limitation of space, if you could have taken this shot without the background clutter showing so as to just focus on the art work you would have a stronger picture. I like the depth of field so as to show the crispness of the clouds in contrast to the sculpture.

*Camera Work (Technical)*
The lighting on the object is good. It cast enough shadow to peak interest, but isn't to bright or washed out. I particularly like the reflection on the left side, it is warmth against the coldness of the metal. Your colors are accurate and bright.

*Digital Processing (technical)*
Sharpening is very good (not too soft and no trace of over sharpening).
Balance between light and dark is good.
Compression is good (no jpeg artifacts)

*My opinion*
I think that with a change in camera position this picture would have been much stronger. If space limitations prevent getting the shot you want, consider cropping down to landscape mode or something that is a little more abstract in nature.

Investigating a Fire

Nice. Good lighting and to not have any noise in the black areas is great. Too bad the fire engines lights are not on, but I'm not lower your score for that, it just would have added some neat colors to the middle of the picture.

Perhaps moving in a little closer so as to have less foreground brick would make this composition a little stronger. Lighting, DOF and focus are good.

Perhaps a filtered light would have kept the bright areas from becoming blown out. Good DOF and focus.

Took a second to see the dog. Very interesting shot. Initial thought was to score low, but looking at the composition a little long and the clearity of the forground, I'm upping my initial score.

It's a good clean shot, but perhaps pulling back a little so we can see what the bear is attached to would help us understand it a little better.
