"Old Hickory", Andrew Jackson

Wow, the detail on this is quite amazing. It's very clear, sharp, and intricate! It's a center placement, but it looks good, nicely framed on either side by the trees. The colors are very vibrant, and the slight glow on the statue itself is good, although had it been a little more widespread and really shone it may have been even better. I like the fact that you used a part of the base too instead of just cropping the statue. Wonderful image.

Compositionally this is great, the image is very appealing, and I love the warm tones. Architecture and nature combined in a wonderful harmony. The only negative is something you likely couldnt control and is more of an observance than a noted flaw, but it's a shame you couldnt have obscured the lights behind the trees.

The deep color in the sky really makes this image, I think. The drama of the sky added to the statue's pose and having him seemingly look at the tops of the trees all nicely tie together well.

Two Outs, Bottom of the Ninth

I think the background really makes this image. The monument is great, dont get me wrong here, and the crop, which doesnt seem to work at first, actually doesnt really do anything too negative to the image, but coupled with the background it really tells a story.

So many things to like in this image. The black and white is great, adds a nice moody feel. The light wisps of clouds gives it an ethereal feel. The composition is good, even centered. And you gotta love the light glare on the edge of the structure. A great homage to a great musician, and a great photograph!

Rose in milk
by Ivar

Comment:
The shadows are a little distracting, and the rose petals appear a little soft. There is also some noise in the red, which seems to suggest that you may have used low lighting. I think more lighting, possibly from the side, would have highlighted a few of the petals in a much more dramatic way, contrasting the red petals and shadows nicely with the creamy milk.

Overcast at the Harbour

Comment:
The negative space is effective, however, the horizontal lines are a little distracting, they almost remind me of folds in a piece of paper. Using grayscale I think helps with the white or 'overcast' sky. The angled pole (or what appears to be scaffolding) makes an interesting contrast or change to the vertical poles.

Yup, that's negative space all right!

Marooned

So that's where they go to die, in a large field! (or so it seems). This is interesting to me as I've never seen one of these boats other than in full working order on the river. The vegetation at the front (or is that back?) really ages it well, as do the sepia. It's almost like a huge garden ornament, pretty amazing.

As Darkness Approaches

This is a really vivid blue, and I really like it! It certainly gives a 'wow' when you first look at it. The silhouettes are good, sort of framing the land off in the distance, although the horizon line looks a little crooked. Not instantly seeing desolation as it's a very pretty image, but I suppose it does support loneliness to some degree.
