Red Pond

Someone once told me about colors vs emotion. When you see snow your mind says "cold." So to prevent a mental conflict you want to stay in the cool area of the color wheel. I agree with that to a point. With solo pictures I'd agree. If you're making a collection and the whole collection is going to make a statement then I'd say you can wander off in whatever color direction you want.

In this case I'm not really digging the red. Red + water = blood. If your intent was to make the poor ducks swimming in blood then I guess you accomplished your goal. However I'm not sure that was your intent, so I would have suggested using a cool blue/purple/grey. I struggle sometimes with choosing colors like this. The red certainly does look cool on certain elements of the photo, but as a whole it doesn't completely work.

The white of the eyes look very unnatural. The lips look like they were touched up too, but I think if the eyes were less obviously doctored the lips would be okay.

Hitting the Pipe (the marijuana pipe)

You're not doing the pipe any justice with this shot. You can't even tell what it is without the title. Glass pipes can be beautiful things with the correct lighting..

This is a cool idea. You can pretty easily tell it's a tv behind there, because of the split screen though. I think it's definately worth another shot with a different image on the screen or some other source of image.

This is a nice photo. Unfortunately that V is killing the smoke visibility.

10 Dollars

I don't know what the original of this looks like, but it would make a great minimalism photo if there were more vertical dead space above the sand dollars.
