Building a better Donut

Somehow, the sight of the sign for 'Freshly Baked Bagels" is jarring after reading the title of the photo. It's a fun concept but I don't think the execution works too well.

Interesting idea. It is a bit soft focus for a dynamic composition.

While there is some neon in this composition, the focal point seems to be more about the arrangement of the chairs and the mood of closing time. The neon clock in the corner is just a small detail that actually distracts the eye in a negative way from the main composition.

Nice night shot. Your picture frame appears a bit tilted to the left.

This is a very good shot. I like the sharp angle of the wall, and the barbwire against the moody sky. The yellow glow of the lamp is also very striking. Unfortunately, I'm not really getting a feel of neon from the lamp light--it has more of a warm incandescent quality to it.

Neon...

The color appears very drab to me. Almost white with only a bit of blue at the top of the letters.

After Hours: Hustle & Bustle

I like street photography but there should be something to capture my attention and this shot is lacking that something. The only thing that really captured my attention is the "Hungry Jacks" logo appears to be borrowing heavily from Burger King.

Very interesting portrait. The color is appropriate for the child. I'd like to see a little more brightness in her face.

Neon Ponybeads

This is a fun subject but the lighting is very drab. A high key white background would work better to make the colors sing. To do that, simply set your EV mode to a + setting and it will overexpose the white background, reducing the shadow that makes it appear grey. Try a few + stops up until you achieve a good balance--you don't want to overexpose the beads in the process. The grey background drabs down the colors of the beads. Also, try to create a seamless background to avoid the line bisecting the frame. For a subject this small, a piece of white paper taped to a vertical surface with a portion of it resting on the table works fine.

Interesting concept. I would suggest that taking exposure from a grey card (or maybe the yellow bottle) would have yielded a better exposure. As it is, you have one blown out bottle, and one bottle nearly hidden in shadow. A way to get around reading from a gray card is to trick the meter with your EV setting.
