The reflection adds a depth to this one that isn't present in most fireworks photos. Good job on the timing and framing.

On The Living Room Table

Really well taken. The red and purple add pizzaz to the composition.
I feel the white lampshade throws it off a bit. Without it there is a nice digression from white in the upper left to black in the lower right. Maybe something with a medium color would have been better in that spot or nothing at all. I do hope you can set it up again, as I think it really has a cozy feeling to it and like it a lot.

To me the reflection is telling the story and I find that a rather unique take on the usual "kid at aquarium" shot. Since the actual people are blurry and overexposed, I might have been tempted to crop them out. That would have brought up the perceived quality of the shot and made a definitive statement as to the intentions of the photographer. I might have tried taking it at a different angle to use the waterline as a natural frame for the picture.

Glowing Bride

I like the noise and there is a flowing symmetry to the picture. My personal feeling about this is it would be better to at least see some detail in the bride's face. It looks like maybe she is turned away from the camera, hard to tell.

That is one shiny car. The colors are attractive. I don't know, but this looks like something happened in post processing or maybe camera shake during the exposure but the double outline causes my eyes to hurt. Sometimes neat image helps and sometimes it doesn't. I think in this case it doesn't.

Father & Son

What a nice feeling this has. There are quiet a few things that are appealing. The solitude of the people, the color treatment, the composition. All good. I think the picture might have looked better with the sun down a little more. Also there is a haze or halo around the people that could have been removed in post processing. It's really amazing how well this is exposed considering how the sun is almost in the center.

I feel sorta uncomfortable looking at this because most of the frame is taken up with the hiding place of the photographer (and extends to me as the viewer) and most of that is dark and the focus is even on that area. Sorry, not my cup of tea.

The color that is in the picture is nice. The choice of dof created some nice blurring on the futher leaves while allowing good detail on the front leaves and water. I like how the light penetrates the leaves causing the tranlucient color on the left center leaf. Unfortunately, I think because of the strong light, this looks overexposed. IMO, it would have been outstanding if there was a little more than a hint of green in the composition.

This might be one of the shots that would do better if the viewer had more information. The exposure is pretty good except for the spot where the sun is reflecting off the water. The people run too much together which, to me, makes them seem alien. I can see how each generation has a pair melded together which could have been a type of story. But then there are single people also, so I am left to wonder what the message of the picture is. Nice concept. Maybe reshoot with more space between the people or with some more front lighting.
