good choice of subject. The dark upper corners don't appeal to me and the colours seem off in general. The whites are slightly blown and overpowering in the signs.

cool concept! A slight rotation to the right to bring the frame of the doorway vertical may have mproved the shot, IMO

Kookaburra Among Gum Leaves
by Bowerbird

Comment:
leaves are definitely busy. IMO, perhaps aligning the bird more to the right side instead of directly in the centre would help compositionally. Focus is too soft for my taste and colours are very muted.

nice composition. Focus is too soft for my taste and colours seem somewhat washed out.

awesome carving job!

Night Mare

great carving job. I like the rays coming off the light too and the leaves in the foreground. The only thing I would change would have been to darken the grasses in the upper left.

Jordan Fall Portrait

Comment:
Again with this one, I love the composition and clarity of the shot but find the borders distracting. Perhaps if they weren't cutting so deeply into the picture on the sides...

Jordan with Scarecrow

Comment:
I like the composition of the shot with the positioning of your son and the scarecrow. I find the buttonizing borders to be distracting though and think overall, it would be better without the added effect, IMO.

Bridge Under Troubled Water
by Azrifel

Comment:
I can definitely tell that this is a reflected image. I like the subject, including the person on the bridge. IMO, cropping out the lamp and sign may have improved the composition by shifting the focus more to a "thirds" line while putting more emphasis on the ripples at the same time. Did you use a polarized filter on your lens at all? The upper right corner is very dark and has a "Polarized lens" look to me, which I find distracting. Some additional brightening with curves or levels may also have brought out the colours more.
