Grand Statue

The cross is placed too central within the photograph and the overall tones are a bit light. However, I like the subject matter and IMO would suggest the following, if you get the chance to photograph this again: get the camera really close to the ground and shoot upwards to include the canopies of the tall trees. Move the cross either to the left or right of the photo if you are going to keep it the same size, which I think is great as it would give the effect of the cross towering over the viewer. Or use rule of thirds to place it.

The grain really suits this type of photo and certainly adds to the impact. I love the vertical lines of the buildings behing the car.

I think this is a really great shot but I think it will look better with some of the empty sky cropped off the top. This will also move the horizon line away from the centre of the photo. Great colour and grain.

A lovely shot and I know you meant the horizon to be at that angle, but that is one thing I would change. The photo is striking enough without having to position it at an angle. The bow of the ship seems as though it is going to shoot right out of the frame and the ropes leading in from the bottom right take you straight to the subject. The lines, clouds, and moody grain in this photo are excellent.

Landscape

I don't particularly like colour with grain, but this shot is pretty minimalist and works well. The grain especially adds to the mood of the layered silhouettes (spelling?) at the bottom of the photo.

Ruins of a Dying Art.....

Great mood, very desolate and foreboding! I like the symmetry and the grain is perfect for this type of photo. One small comment, the blown out pillar on the right is a bit distracting.

Fantastic view point! I like the fact that the subject on the left is placed at the top of the photo with empty space below and the two subjects on the right are exactly the opposite.

old man in his kitchen

I like this shot but I'm not too sure about the position of the old man. I do like the light behind his head and his hand but seating him to one side, perhaps at a table would have shown more of his surroundings and made him look more at ease. On the other hand posing him in such a confrontational pose, makes ME feel uncomfortable and therefore evokes an emotion in me, which is what I think makes a good photograph. The addition of grain adds to the mood and is wonderful.

The Photographer

This is a great shot! The photographers right arm is perfectly placed to frame both the photograph and his face and I like the space you have left in front of the lens. The grain is the perfect touch for this kind of photograph. Well done.

Urban Decay

Comment:
I like the colours in this photograph and the sunlight caught on the top of the main door. It definately shows urban decay but with regards to the challenge, I don't see much evidence of grain.
