It captures the mood very well.

I like the strong leading lines here, especially the cable running to the boat. The frozen in action water on the ship is also a very nice detail. I remember those winter skies and they look just like that. The only thing that picks at my eye is the tower not being parallel with the photo's edge; but that's just me.

Strong image compositionally with lots of detail. I like the repetition. I start everyday with a slice of toast with butter except Saturday when it's a dough nut! I have to say I prefer the color version.

This shot just puts a smile on my face. I mean who can't relate to this? Love the POV. I like the square crop and the strong hair highlights which really works the idea of contrasts.

I like the overall feel of this shot and agree that the vignette is well chosen. The warm colors really ties the scene together, too as well as your choice in DOF; love the Christmas lights and jar labels(?) But, I mean really, who uses that much Moca? The telltale sip track adds a lot too. I often wonder why Starbucks doesn't figure that out.

I'm right there with you! I love the white, foamy water frozen with the bright colors... Excellent.

Nice flesh tones and colors. Flat, a ;little but still has nice modeling.

First, I like the square crop. I also like the transition behind the bare tree from yellow to blue. Perhaps a slightly tighter crop to get rid of the roof tops?
