Terrific action shot. Not only is the action incredible (verticle jet ski), but the facial impression really sells the image. Color and exposure are right on. The only little things are the slight dip in horizon, the clipping of the jet ski on top, and maybe a bit too centered. This are just minor things to an otherwise excellent photograph!

I like how you composed the shot, the way the child is looking into the frame gives at least a good use for the negative space. The focus seems a bit too soft, maybe just a bit more and it would be good. I have never been a fan of selective coloring unless there is a purpose. I guess your intent was to have the hat the subject of the image? Beyond that though, the pose is great and the lighting is wonderful. A nice image and very cute child.

A classic image! Great lines, terrific light. The catch of red. The only thing is it is more or less a reproduction of a style. A very, very good reproduction but I think it takes a bit away from the image. I do like your take on the subject. Strictly on the merit on the technical side it is near perfect. A terrific shot.

This is a photo all about context. It is quite funny, but seems to be missing the intergrity of the scene to actually make it work. The two seem a little non-chalant about the whole thing. Nevertheless I like the idea here. The location was a terrific choice. Colors are great. Focus is a bit soft, but the exposure is great, more especially consider the difficult lighting.

A great beach scene here. The clouds and lines are terrific. I think it would help the composition a bit if you were able to see the curve in the bend and the horizon is slightly titled. I do love the waves and textures, and the eye movement in the photo is good. A great capture.

This is a terrific candid moment giving alot of context to the even occuring. Not sure if I like the direction of the color tint, but that is subjectional. I feel the same about the tilt. A tough shot to nail, but pretty good exposure wise. A fun candid shot.

Great sharpness and terrific colors. I like the overal composition. A very good understand of what makes a photo appealing. The fence is a little bit of a distraction, but not because of the design. I actually think the pattern helps here, but it is the fact that the view knows what the background entails. Still a wonderful capture.

Uh Oh, pop art. Na, this is good stuff. It's hard to wrap my brain around sometimes, but I like the ideas here. The accents of color, the boldness of yellow and the subdued green really work well. Compositional it is near perfect, sure there is the cut off cow, but I realize that is the intent. There is a difference between missing the composition because of "mistakes" and missing the composition because of "intent". I see alot of intent here. The only compostion "mistake" I see here is the flower covering the house.

This is one of those photos that is more than just the exposure, lighting, composition. People who do not understand that I think are just missing out on the point. Photography doesn't have to be all mechnical. You have a special photo here. It's purposeful without being just a gimmick. A wonderful treat to see. Simply surreal.

A fun different type of landscape. Not sure if the curvature was intentional, but I think it adds a great dimension to the photo, almost like a reverse ocean scene. The varied colored tones add alot of interest and the brown pop works wonders. Not sure of the exposure, but the clouds seem a little soft, it might be due to a long exposure.

I terrific composition. I think there a just a few things I would challenge to make this a perfect picture. I might trim off a bit of the top, maybe 8x10 format. I like the colors here, though maybe a bit too much saturation was added to the orange channel. I do like the mood you are conveying here. It is one of those special photos though, and makes me wish I could visit Thailand again. A real winner in my eyes.
