I really like this shot. Nice subject, textures, and contrast. You might try a tighter crop on it(from about where the first row of concrete out from the step intersects the right side of the photo to just left of the main tree. For my taste, there is just a little too much of the concrete in the foreground (basically a pattern with very little interest). See below.

I like how the early sunlight shines through. there is something funky going on top right with the leafs.

not bad. i would have used a slightly slower shutter speed to make the guy a little less blurry...

Looks like it could be tilted just a tad to the right, but it is an odd perspective so you may introduce other odness by doing so. Neat looking building, hope you had a chance to get some closeups of the textures on the walls.

I really like the details in the cactus. Again you have achieved some nice tones.

Nice tonal range, makes the cactus pop but still shows the dramatic background sky. Well done.

So many crazy wavy lines in this scene. The eye could feast for a week on the small details.

Did you dodge the lines on the cactus? Not sure I care for the overall look of this, though obviously it resonates well with others.
