Bishop Hooper's Monument

Nice and sharp. The lighting is a little harsh but that's the way it goes with spotlights. Perhaps a more creative composition would help too? There's a little bit of a snapshot feeling to the composition if you know what I mean, sort of a "put the subject in the center and shoot" feeling, that--usually--results in an accurate reproduction of the subject but doesn't let the photographer share his or her creative interpretation of the subject. I usually try to take lots of angle of a subject like this: close up, far away, off-center, centered, from below, from the side, focus in on part of the subject (face? ornate stonework?) to show the viewer something they wouldn't normally see when they look at it. Just some thoughts on how you might be able to take an average scene and make a work of art out of it. :)

Very nice scene, but the photo is a bit too grainy and not particularly sharp, which distracts me from the beauty of the scene.

Night in St Germain

Pretty cool. Maybe just a little too much on the red saturation, at least where people's faces are concerned, but I like the bold red on most of the scene.

Statues by Night

Very pretty! I love the angle you took the shot from. The lighting is great, the colors are nice, good sharpness. However, I might prefer it a little darker overall, to preserve the "Late Night" feeling: the sky just seems a little too bright. Still a great image.

Very pretty scene. The reflections are nice. The only thing is that it doesn't seem very sharp, perhaps a little OOF or camera shake?

Nuit Américaine

Interesting, I like the textures and the high contrast. Maybe cropping off the bottom 1/4 to 1/3 of the image would make it feel more balanced, all the blackness seems too much there. Original and creative.

I like the color effect! Very cool. However, ther seems to be a lot of compression artifacting or color banding. Maybe saving at a higher JPEG quality would help? You can use up to 150 KB and this image uses less than 17 KB.

First Parish Meeting House - 1773

The subject is nice, but the lighting is a bit too harsh perhaps, losing detail in the front of the building and still being too dark up on the tower. Too bad the lights were so bright.

Different than most of the shots in the challenge, which is good in a way. But the image doesn't hold enough to keep me interesting in looking at it more than a few seconds. Also there is a lot of compression artifacts in the "blackness". The image is only 9 KB, if you saved it at a higher JPEG quality it would look better with respect to that.

Gorgeous! One of the most beautiful images I've seen in a while. I would love to have a print of this framed on my wall.
