The background is an asset to the whole image. Good Job with the tones. and focus. (There are some wrinkles in the background that show as dark areas, something to avoid next time)

I agree with mpemberton on the halo effect, I am not a great fan of USM because it is so often over done. the left side of each image throws off the balance. It could be cropped off just past the whiskers even where it takes a little paw. the background effect is cool but a bit of a distraction, a sutle blur would possibly be effective. Neat set of images.

be careful with your sharpening, it is easy to end up with a halo efffect which is distracting from an otherwise really nice image.

This is a strange image, the birds are strange and the background is confusing to me.

Building with Triangles

Its like a monsterous beast of some strange origin. What an amazing building. The colors seem a littlle flat to me, but the detail is good on the building and reasonably well on the foreground.

what a neat idea. I am thrown only by the darkness of the image especially the border areas.

Waiting for someone

The only triangles I see are in the balls and don't seem to be a "key element". Subject is interesting and detail is good. Color nicely done. The people are a distraction to me, but the I have a short attention span.
