really seems like the horizon is titlted in this picture.. nice exposure, however - the water in the air is a nice touch =)

nice picture, but the noise at the top seems a bit distracting.. without it, i could have seen this picture as a ribbon contender (although i'm not sure how valid my predictions are). i'm just wondering if neat image or something might have helped clear this up.

As Simple As ...

Comment:
i like the choice of the rusted background, as opposed to the standard white or black - not exactly sure why, because it wouldn't necessarily work with all subjects. maybe it's the contrast of of the bubbly/colorful nature of the letters and the hard/aged look of the background. nice job.

Sunset over Vulcan

because of the lack of detail in on the ground, it might have been nice to either include more of the sky or crop out more of the earth. the black tends to demand almost as much attention as the sky the way it is.

The Simple Life

your subject looks more like a gardener than (what i believe you were trying to convey) a person simply taking care of their own garden. if this is indeed what you were going for, a different perspective (and pose+tool?) might have helped. if not, i guess i'm just confused!

A Novice Monk: Simple Life or Simply a Kid?

Comment:
if the wall continued further to the right, and this wasn't a candid, it might have been nice to move the kid over a little for a shot against just the wall. as it is, i still like the photo and title, but think that it would benefit tremendously from a more plain/uniform background.

Here Comes the Sun

Comment:
if had you had the resources (maybe somebody patient enough to stand around while you were shooting), it would have been nice to place a solid background behind the icicle, for purpose of simplicity. the shallow dof helps keep attention on the icicle, but the background is still semi-distracting due to it's 'unsimple' nature.

just a hint...

the border seems a bit distracting. i like the effort on the lighting to truly define the shape (i'm guessing a tea kettle?) of the object.
