Golden Gate Bridge and Sutro Tower

The lines of the cables are fun - the lines of the streetlights are not so much. There's some good feel here, in the steelwork, but I do wish the streetlights weren't quite so intrusive.

Looks to have suffered from rather heavy processing - whether or not in camera is impossible to tell, but to my eye it harms the shot a great deal. I think there might have been a strong sense of serenity, of early evening peace to it - that shade of blue - but it does need that cleanliness of image to go with the clean (and strong) composition.

Classical, neatly organised - filling the negative space with trees is always effective, and makes a useful lead into the top of the dome. Clever composition, and strong sense of plasticity in the dome itself.

13th and Penn

Hurrah hurrah - some context at last. I feel like giving you extra points just for that, after the last few images. I wonder if you haven't relegated your landmark too much for most tastes - and if the forground isn't too cluttered and busy. I think that would be my personal criticism of it too - whilst you've captured the sense of the way it dominates the streets, I wonder if you haven't just taken it too far. Good work.

Tovrea Castle, Phoenix

Ooh but there's some weird artefactness going down here. It seems to be straight-out-of-camera aspect ratio, so I'm fairly confident in suggesting your post-rocessing is letting you down a fair bit.

Aside from which (and I expect most people will only have commented on the blocky sky), I think you have the beginnings of a good shot here - but only the beginning, I'm afraid: I like the idea of including some foreground interest, in that wall and cactus, but you seem to have had to stretch things to include them and thus relegated the interest in your main subject too much - that cactus is almost as strong a presence as the castle, and that surely isn't what you intended. But you have at least not presented a head on boring shot just of the castle, so points for that. Is it worth my suggesting you have a look round and see how other similar compsitions have been worked?

like this - particularly your inclusion, and so strongly, of the fence - adds a sinister edge ot it, and takes it away from the bland shot it might otherwise have been. It has a feeling of ... well, not out-of-focus, but of not being quite sharp, and it bothers my vision a little.

The House on the Hill

There's perhaps just a bit too much wide-angle distortion here - it doesn't quite suit the type of image this is - this clean, documentary style of shot - so the building just seem strange. Neatly done otherwise, though.

Wonderful composition - a perfect example of leading lines, really. Strong sense of scale, good sky. An enjoyable image.

Town Square Heros

something unbalances this - I think it's the off-setting of the trees, and the centring of the silhouetted statue. Placing the light there is effective, but it's almost as if the eye expects the statue to be to the right of frame, and it isn't. Nice approach, though, all the same.

Quite a neat shot. Not sure about the negative space - at least, the amount of it -what for? Technically good, though, and the light is dealt with very efficiently.
