Dramatic sky - I like the dark gold color. Wish the ship were sharper. Vertical composition might have worked better -including the refelction and more sky.

Walk Away

What a tremendous composition - the person right on the thirds line, the striking diagonals from the mountain to the horizon and in the sweep of the clouds... but the image is so dark and lackng in contrast... I couldn't resist trying to brighten it up. I used levels, curves, selective colors, shadows and highlights:

Fun! I like having the two of them in the photo - the one slightly out of focus gives depth to your image. Might look even better with more contrast.

Lovely black and white. I like the leading and "misleading" lines- they keep my eyes wandering around and around this engaging composition and beautiful landscape. 10

A thrilling photo thanks to both the capture and your imaginative title. Wonderful in the abstract (nice composition!) and in the implied speed! 10

A successful "noir" lighting effect. Very dramatic!

Ole Blue Eyes

I enjoy the expression you've captured here - this is a Llama with personality and a high opinion of himself. Your title reflects that - he does have a lovely eye. However I think the color cast of the photo is too green. With some adjustments in photoshop using hue/saturation or color adjust, you can get a more natural light and even highlight the blue of the eye - see what you think:

Slightly off Track

I love the drama of this photo - the line of the rail running along the bottom, the stars and clouds floating etheral above. However the way you have exposed it is too dark for my tastes. I would prefer to lighten the image - bring out some of the contrasts and colors - I lightened the shadows using shadows/highlights, boosted the yellow and red colors a bit in Hue/saturation, and tweeked the exposure in curves. I also reduced noise with noise ninja. I don't know what you'll think, but I like the results better...

This is such a regal portrait - along the lines of the MGM lion! Love the tone.
