This appears at least to be rotated clockwise a couple of degrees. I'm finding of late my pictures of the river where I work are looking that way (when I know they are level) due to shoreline conditions and perspective of the shot. - Inspzil
Oh yea, beautiful pic!

Under The Bridge

Composition - I really like the colors of this image. You took this pic at a great time. The lighting is excellent really bringing out the colors. The thing I notice most about this picture is the arch of the pier. It could be used to frame the stuff behind it. I think this would help in a couple of ways - First, it narrows the field of view which might bring a stronger focal point forward. Secondly, I think switching it from portrait to landscape orientation will make it feel more natural. I think there is too much unnecessary stuff in the frame. I inspect these kind of bridge beams for a living. I like to see them, but it isn't necessary for this picture.

Photography - Exposure is great. The lighting had to be good there. The colors are awesome. The framing is the only thing that I would change about the whole picture. The rest of it is great.

Processing - Nothing is standing out, so that's good

Overall - This is a pretty good picture with a lot of potential to be much better. And I don't think it would take too much. Maybe even just a tighter crop and switching from portrait to landscape. Hope this helps a little. I enjoyed the shot. - Bob

Take goofy out of this pic and you'd have a contender. - Inspzil

Great capture. Too bad there's so much stuff in the background. Really well done though. I like how they are mostly facing the same way - Inspzil

Fountains in the Desert, Las Vegas

Awesome. Should be the winner in my book. The people's silhouettes at the bottom give this photo the extra shove toward the finish line - Inspzil

Bridge over Troubled Water

The water doesn't look to troubled. I don't think the shallow DOF works with this pic either. The branch in the foreground is really, really not helping this pic live up to its potential. - Inspzil

The first thing I think of when I look at pictures in terms of voting is, "Could I see this hanging on my wall?" This has some great colors, but it needs rotating a little and there really isn't much in terms of composition, but the colors. - Inspzil

The color is great, but I don't like the composition. - Inspzil

Sun is a little bright, even when left intentionally bright. Good concept of a photo though. I'm not sure I like the land in the foreground. - Inspzil
