Remembering Vietnam ...

A very evocative place. You've captured it well, but everything from the small flag to the R edge of the frame could be cropped to strengthen the image. Personally, I'd lose the girl looking the "wrong" way, too.

April in May

Beautifully done. The high-key falls apart a little inthe ULHC - maybe a reflector would have helped with the shadows behind that strand of hair and on her neck. Biggest little nit is that you've lost half a finger to overexposure. High marks from me.

Disappointment

So good... Great contrast and detail, and the composition works for me. Digging for nits, I do notice that the skin on his face has picked up some digital blech, and some shadow detail is missing. A little positive gamma and punch up the darks a little to keep the contrast and it would be perfect. Congrats!

Leaving

A strong image, but I think it would be stronger if the floor tiles were lined up in the frame. The composition, while non-traditional, is good, but I think you could get the same effect with 1/3 less negative space. A faster shutter to freeze the man would be my personal preference.

Beautiful blues, and well composed. I wonder how it would look if you'd shot from farther to the right so that the railing was straight, but this works too.

Dragon Boat Race

Isn't Dragon Boat Festival next month? I guess this is practice. Interesting, but doesn't really grab the eye - too many distractions.

Misery

Damn... I was going to shoot my TV for this week. Good stuff here, and the subtitle is a nice addition. Could be interpreted as breaking the "artwork may not constitute the whole of the image" rule, but balls to that.

That red umbrella was a stroke of luck, eh? Not to mention catching Obi Wan on vacation. I always wonder when shooting other photogs; is it incest or cannibalism? Congrats on a beautiful image.

Beautiful girl, great colors and clarity. I don't know if the fill flash was necessary (can't tell what the lighing conditions were), but I'd have moved her a little farther from the bg to minimize the shadows and get those horizontal lines out of the field of focus. The one running through her neck is a no-no (according to the "rules"). That said, one of the best this round.

Un/Controlled Aggression

What's lacking in the technicals is made up in impact. Were you wearing your cat suit? Zoomed out just a little to include the dog's paws would be better, but I imagine it's hard to think straight in this situation. Very good.
