Very harsh whites - perhaps make this b/w and then saturate the gumballs?

out of focus and nothing for the eye to go to - bleh

Interesting perspective, you cut their feet and their head so no one can get upset about the cropping, the rule of thirds works well here as there is no real subject and its well balanced and great use of b/w

I would add a black border to tie all the crazyness in a bit - overall I think its a great capture.

I have to admit, this photo was the first to jump off the screen. Like everyone else I said "ooo pretty pink." (I hate pink, mind you)

1) I cropped out the blacker bit of sky in your top left corner. To me this image is about the pink water. Sure, the firework is pretty, but we've all seen fireworks, and they themselves don't have a "wow" factor. With that in mind, it doesn't hurt to chop a little bit of it out.

2) I used the Sharpen Tool on your foreground boat.

3) I Dodged Highlights and Burned Shadows. I find that this helps sharpen images without actually using any of the sharpening tools. It also helps with fog/haze. I used it to bring out your city a bit. I also used it on the main boat to clear it up.

4) If I could I would move your foremost boat, but I can't, heh. Composition wise, it needs to be at least 1/2 inch to the left.

I think the wire that goes across the middle of the shot behind the fountain is distracting. You could clone it out fairly easily.

The rest of the image seems a little pixelated. My same comment regarding he space needle applies. Play with resampling methods to get something smoother looking.

A lot of impact here. To be nitpicky (per your request) the overhead burst and that nicely lit cityscape seem to be fighting for my attention. Perhaps a different crop would clear up what the subject is and lead the eye better.

Some serious posterization going on here. The composition doe snot seem to work for me either. None of the multiple subjects really stand out to me.

I like this shot. Since he is backlit, a little enhancement in the shadow areas and sharpening of the detail on his fur might give it some more impact. I love to see texture.

Good capture.... reminds my of myself. =) I like the lighting, but I think a bit more contrast could be nice, also could try cropping it into a portrait to get more of a human portrait feel to it. ;)
