...to the sea, I raced the setting sun, only to find the sea waiting for me...

A good candid-style shot. Well seen.

I see many lines here, but I am having a hard time finding what they are leading me towards. Basically, instead of resting on a single location, I find my eyes darting around looking for a focal point.

Leading to a Future Together

I especially like how the legs of the women seated on the aisles also lead one's eye back to the central focal point. Too bad the bride has that tree growing out of her head, though ;) All in all, a good entry that should do well.

Ornamental Metal

This is a good subject...a great subject, really. However, it could use a different angle to eliminate the background clutter, and perhaps a different time of day to lessen the shadows. Shoot this again and post the results. Good luck.

St.Louis Welcomes You

I am sure you've already been told, but the bottom could be cropped off. The rest of the shot is quite good and I don't see much else to improve upon.

No Plastic Parts to Wear Out

I am thrown off by the tangential arangement of two of the three gears. Why did you cut off the one on the bottom? I know this is a minor point, but it just jumped out at me as being unbalanced compositionally. Aside from that, I like the strong light and I like your colors.

No. 17

Comment:
Very much a good stock-type shot, especially if you clone out the '17'. Technically this is a good shot, but it doesn't do much else for me personally. Granted, I'm just one person. Perhaps a more angled presentation of the wrench would be more dynamic, but I'm not sure that's what is missing for me. Sorry I couldn't be more help than this.

Out to Pasture

Although metal isn't the first thing that jumps into my mind when I see this shot, I do have to say that this is a wonderful image with a crisp, but not too crisp look, and a good choice for the color cast. All in all, this is a very good photograph.

Fork Play

Comment:
It looks like the inverted fork has blood on the tines, possibly from slicing through the other fork. At first, I found the red reflection distracting, considering the remainder of the photo is basically black & white, but the small splash of color is growing on me.

Good eye. I like the exposure in this shot despite of, or maybe because of, the very dark and very light areas. Good luck.
