Dimensions Of Colour

Initially I didn't care too much for this shot, but after viewing it for awhile it has grown on me. I give it high ranking for creativity and artistic merit. I think the one think that puts me off a little is the lack of contrasting colors. I may also be the reflections draw away from the texture. This too might benifit from some additional unsharp mask.

This looked good in the thumbnail and looks good full size too. Seems to me like a good candidate for a poster. The lighting is nice and bright, I think just a little flat so that we can't see the textrue of the yellow surface. The image is also just a bit soft. I believe that it would benifit from some unsharp mask.

I find this a nice view of a common subject. The extremely tight crop works well and the detail is very good. I also think tha the lighting is spot on. Good job.

Cinnamon & Sugar

Nice composition, good positioning of subjects, good color and perfect exposure. The only problem I see is with depth of field. It is so shallow that only a sliver is actually in focus. A higher f/stop will help. Also note that it is usually better to have the foreground in focus as a blurry foreground can give a sense of tension to a photo.

Nice texture on a good specimen. I would really like to see more in the shadow area. Maybe raising the gamma would accomplish this. I notice that the highlights are a bit hot. My thoughts are that you might shoot such a shot at a different time of day or try using a diffuser to even out the light.

Nice clean exposure and excellent detail. I also agree with the composition, simple and effective. My preference would be to get rid of the shadow and have the bottom lit a bit more to bring out the color.

Nice composition and exposure. Nice that you could include the sky with some clouds (or were those jets that just went by?).

Sunset

I usually find sunset photos somewhat mundane, but this is very nice. I love how you framed the sunset between the foliage. It makes the photo unique, original, and artistic.

Yellow Flower With Bug

You mean with bugs (plural) right? I find this a good composition that could use some additional sharpening.
