Nice photojournalism shot. Wish the falmes were better for the pic but glad they weren't bigger for the people fighting the fire.

lacks the wow factor1 A nicely executed shot of somewhere you have been.

I'd have positioned the puddle much closer in the foreground.

I agree with routerguy's suggestions: good idea and text overall, and lower angle and higher contrast would've improved this. I'd also suggest trying it in B&W.

Very pretty shot of this flower. My main suggestion would be to crop out most of the are below and to the right, so only a bit of stem shows and the right edge of the flower is close to the right of the photo.

For the flower itself, it strikes me as kind of caught between glowing softly and being sharp enough to see the texture. Have you heard of the gothic glow action in Photoshop? I recommend trying it. It's usually too strong for me so I drop it over the original and reduce the opacity some. You can download it for free at //atncentral.com/download.htm

Nice pose, pretty subject, nice lighting. But (you knew there was a "but," right?) she's pretty pink - a little too pink, it seems to me. Try following the excellent tutorial on removing color casts. If you don't want to spend quite as much effort as that calls for, just eyeball the white, black, and gray points.

Also, she seems a little soft, esp. in her eyes and lips. Was the aperture pretty open, which resulted in narrow DOF? Maybe not - it can be hard to tell in online versions.

Wow! You caught a ghostly apparition! ;)

Seriously, this is a nice capture of his car but it's too static - looks like he's sitting still. Race cars are an excellent subject on which to practice motion panning. A blurred background helps convey the sense of speed and power these machines produce.
