Horizon line slightly off on this one. Good emotion from subject in the center

Great urban decay. Frame is slightly tilted - a pet peeve of mine. Don't do it unless it's intentional

Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time

Great journalism piece. Tells a current story of today's failed economy. The "no credit check" sign is a great contrast with the Chevrolet name above. I think it would help if you backed up a bit catching the corner of the building in the frame.

Nice color, almost metallic in feel. Your image might be helped with adding a subject or person sitting in the background maybe just beyond the gutter on the right. Just an idea. I like that the sun is just peaking above on the left. Nice touch.

Barred, Broken and Boarded

HDR? Nice color. When I view it I feel a little closed in. Maybe pull back a bit and show the full window might look more interesting. There is a cable in the upper left corner of the image that distracts a bit from the overall image. Maybe consider a crop here.

Squatter's Delight

Good use of the fisheye here. There is some nice movement going on in this image but I feel it could be enhanced with a subject (model) wither at the top or bottom of the stairs. When leading your viewers through your image, consider where their eyes will stop and give them something interesting to look at and ponder, maybe a woman weeping at the bottom of the stairs suggesting she is a product of this harsh environment she lives in, a mop and bucket on the landing to the right suggesting someone is about to clean this mess up. It should tell a story.

Watcher On The Terminal Beach

The colors pop here but it's too dark. Also, I feel you have two subjects that compete for attention - the dark building and the artwork on the left.

Interesting scene but lacks a strong subject, maybe a man sitting on the steps.

Slow Death

Great color and textures. Horizon is tilted to the left and distracting to the eye.

The frame is slightly tilted. This looks accidental and not intentional. The strong leading lines on the right should bring the viewers eyes to the main subject of the image. Good color and texture in the vines on the left.
