And little more background motion would have added to the effect of the panning.

This photograph would be stronger if the water was a bit more out of focus.

not a bad photo but contrast could be better

Time to learn some more! The basic composition is fine though I'd rather see more expression in her face, but this is good for a "blind" candid so to speak. Now you need to lighten up her face a little - there's plenty of detail there to be had in the shadows. You can lighten the overall picture using levels, but that also lightens up the background, which is fine the way it is. You need to just lighten her face. A couple of ways to do this - "select" just her using a mask or a lasso then making a new layer by copying the selection, then edit just the selection using "levels". You can also try idnic's "moving the light" technique - there's an excellent tutorial in the "Learn" section.

Like others before me I think the auto adjustment left this a little flat. might bring more life back into it by boosting the contrast a little and maybe dodging the tyres to get them back to black ;) The sign finishes this off nicely :)

Nice motion on the water and sharpness on the boat. This would be more interesting if there were something like a person out on the deck.

great portrait - it appears a bit dark on my monitor, but that could be just me.

Nice candid shot. As others have said, just needs to be brightened up a little.

Nice blind shot, I like the lighting but would like to see it a bit brigher overall.
