good line. i wish the smoke was following it into the image instead of drawing my attention off of the page

superb capture. I wish you had cropped down a bit more. the extraneous details on the right and bottom do grab too much attention. his expression says "ssdd"...i would have focused on that...would have given you that elusive top 10

Through the Bell Tower

great framing. i'm not sure how many people realized the almost perfect symmetry you created, but also that you left the shot very dynamic with the building jutting off to the right. That flag pole is extremely unfortunate, and i believe the culprit in the flatness you mentioned. the shot draws the eye in so well and then the flag pole stops it. it also distracts the curve of the dome, which would compliment your arches oh so well. i do believe you have an eye for shooting "great photos", unfortunately the situation and lighting doesn't always cooperate. If you can't wait, Photoshop will help if you let it.

Pipes in the Sun

Comment:
clean and crisp. almost too crisp as the background and grass are a bit distracting. you seem to have gone half-way with the shot. your too close to enjoy the whole bike but not close enoth to enjoy an abstract of leading lines. i'm wondering what it would have looked like with the camera right up against the pipe looking down toward the front wheel (if possible turned out to see the rim)

good idea. i wish the ceiling and ground complimented each other better. i'm wondering if you turned this photo upside down whether it would have more visual impact.

Modern Day Castle

as you might have gotten already...the border is a bit distracting. i'm guessing you were going for sort of looking out the ramparts but i'm not sure it worked. otherwise the lines of the structure are very pleasing. there could be a bit more contrast for my liking.

super crisp, good lighting. like the blues. composition is just lacking excitement for me

Botanical Discovery

lots of lines here. unfortunately those center columns seem to block the movement you're trying to create. i wish you had found a nice focal point, perhaps some flowers and found a line leading to them...perhaps some of the shadows created by these lines would have done the trick.

nice motion. i would have gone with one or the other child, and i would have erred on the side of cute. It looks like your bg is overexposed and you magnified the problem by having to dodge the trees to make the kids stand out. next time try a very wide aperture if your camera allows it to blur out the bg details
