Mother and Son

I like this shot. I find the mothers lack of arm a little distracting. If she has an arm (and I hope she does) I think I would rather have seen it comming down to touch the baby as a point of affirmation and bonding. Without this touch (for me) the picture doesn't quite gel properly.

Two attractive models though, well lit, and nice colouring.

Nice lighting and colouring- I'm not quite sure about the crop. Should you have drawn back to show us a bit more of her or pulled in tighter to focus on the head and hair . . not sure. Nice picture though.

QAAM

I have to be honest - I have no idea what QAAM means if indeed it means anything. when I Googled it I got ' Quality Assurance Analyst/Manager ' hmm not sure he's a Quality Assurance Manager, and 'Quick-Maneuvering Air-to-Air Missile'. Now I love the second suggestion . . but again I'm not convinced. H

However this is such a great shot that I don't really care what it stands for, and I'm going to give you a 10. Well done.

I think this is an exceptional shot and if I could give more than 10 points I probably would. However I can only give 10 so I have.

My only thoughts are how it would have looked with one of the clock hands leaving the frame to balance the one entering it.

This looks like HDR software has been used, along with a wide angle lens. It has been used to good effect though. I really like this shot - perhaps the clouds on the extreme left are over dark, but overall It's really strong.

I think this is a tremendous shot, conveys the isolation of addiction in a powerful but non-threatening way. a clear 10 for me. well done.

Disputed Territory II

I think I prefer your 'Disputed Territory 1' for conveying the message, but if you wanted to carry the series on, perhaps for DT3 you could have an example of a tree or plant growing out of a wall. For me that's where the dispute really happens, when nature fights back.

Really nice shot. The red petrol can just finishes off this shot perfectly.

As an overall image I like this. I think for me there needs to be something else in the foreground to help add depth as at the moment it is a little bit of a 'picture of two halves'.
The top half is a nice sunset(?) while the lower half is a little bit too continous and lacking in features to draw the eye in. The brick effect is an interesting way to join the two halves of the picture.
A pleasing shot, but with something extra in the foreground it could have been even better - that might well just be my view though :- )
