I know what you were trying to achieve but I can still see the black background. Might have been better without the flash and if you used a tripod instead or fiddle with curves/levels to completely blackout the background for the desired effect.

Contrast seems quite flat and lacks depth. Lens seems to be dirty as there are a couple of spots in the photo.

This man seems to have had a long run of unfortunate luck. Seems he has collected trophies of slices of his life and put them on his head as reminders. Excellent tonal balance and contrast. Seems a little bit oversharpened. 8

Out of focus but a very cute baby.

I like how the path leads the viewers' eyes to the buildings. Overall contrast is a bit on the bright side. 5.5 (because I would have preferred a closeup of one of the buildings instead) but I rounded up to a 6.

Very nice macro study. And the "expression" of the bee's face is one of "back off." Sharp details of the bee and surrounding flowers. The only things I would have changed are the bright background in the upper right and remove the spider web but with a mean bee like that, I can understand why you didn't. :) Also the border is a bit thick. 7

Temple of Public Transportation

A very different perspective and it is original. I like the muted lighting but the long exposure also introduced a little bit of noise but it's not distracting. In fact, it adds to the feel of the image giving it a more industrial feel to it. I think the only thing I would change would be the cropping of the right side to eliminate the black spot or what appears to be a shoe.

"Above Us Only Sky"

Very impressive landscape shot. Love the sepia/duotone. Perspective is also very good. The horizon (line where trees and mountain/land meet water) seems distorted and curved. Sky and clouds are very bright and appear oversharpened.

Image is small which makes it hard to see details and appreciate what you have to offer. A bit overexposed. Perspective is not the most exciting.

Poor focus and details. Too may other objects in the frame competing for attention. Maybe try shooting the photo on a lawn or someplace else with less distractions.
