Agree with Junie here. The borders are too small to get good bang for your buck. They need to be twice as wide inside.

or, take your edge photos, resize smaller just slightly. One lower on the right or left, the other higher. Thicker black on top or bottom of each side. This will create a real visual division.

Up your game eh? Nope, not helping you...once you find a subject that is artsy and filled with emotion, you'll just be taking all the ribbons home. your eye is sharp and finish processing is very well done. You manage to keep the quality of light in check on most of what I see here.

Lets consider the width of this crop. Narrow it considerably. The long upwards reaching branch is cropped out, the right-side diagonal is cropped at the half way mark. Drop the top by a quarter of the distance to the peak.

This is a great image. If it were a challenge entry I would clone the sun out as it looks too much like a lens smudge, but there is not a thing wrong here. Great job!

Hey Todd. Nice shot. I'm seeing that you have your F-Stop at 4 and shutter at 4000. This type of wide angled image suffers quickly from low depth of field causing it to look out of focus. At the top end of your zoom, you want to be shooting no slower than 1/600, so try to balance out the speed by stopping down your lens. This will give you a much longer focal range and make that plane and all the other items in the scene crispy!

Try an F10 or F11 under similar conditions with a speed anywhere from 1/800 to 1/1200.

Nice shot, but the cloud/steam is very distracting. If there is a color version, can you put the color back in the US Flag to draw the eye way from the starkness on the left?

Reminds me of the Great Wall of China. An excellent angle and placement of subject.

This truck jumps off the page! Nice shot.

Did you use a Gaussian blur here on the back 40 to get the DOF down?
