The Net

Lovely exploration of colour, texture and lines. Composition feels a little unbalanced, too much grey, I feel that the green and grey should be equal or significantly different. Blues feel a bit oversatured. Wish there was something a little extra to this though, there's a danger of it being just a net on a wall.

Mother Nature's Sculpture

Very heavily photographed landmark, I feel that this shot is a bit of a wasted opportunity. Usually, photographers are attracted to the stunning plays of light, textures and shapes in this formation, whereas I feel that this looks more like an 'I was there' kind of a shot. I don't see an exploration and an awareness of all the aforementioned issues. Particularly bad is the inclusion of the edge of an arch on the left of the shot, which leads the eye out of the frame, a definite 'no no'.

Blue Rocks at Dawn

Beautiful colours, and very striking on first glance. The more I look at it though, the more that things start to bother me about it. The composition doesn't feel balanced and there is no clear point of focus amongst the buildings. The amount of negative space at the top of the shot feels a little superfluous. Although the horizon looks straight, the shape of the buildings in the water makes the photo feel like it is tilting to the left. One of the boats is blurry, I would have tried to make more of a feature out of this by making both boats very blurry. Here, it looks accidental. Nice contrast of warm and cool tones with your use of white balance though.

Breathtaking, literally. Very bold composition, third of rules be damned! I do wonder what it would look like in colour... even artificially applied from black and white, perhaps painted in. I think the score will suffer for being in b&w, it's not pretty but it is striking.

Solitude

Lovely location, but size of cyclist feels a bit wrong for this shot. I'd have prefered more cyclist in the frame, either by getting closer or zooming in. I don't like how the hill cuts into his waist, which is also dark... it confuses the eye. Nice use of leading lines. Foreground seems much sharper than the background, I'd have prefered this the other way around. Beautiful sky.

Beautiful grain, nice colours and tones.
She's turned away just a tad too far for my liking, the mouth looks a bit odd as a result.
Dodge and burn is a bit uneven, especially bottom left and bottom right of frame.

Down the up Escalator

I wrote a loong comment on this photo, but it was lost in the daily maintenance, so just a short one I'm afraid! Not keen on the b&w tones, looks like you just pressed 'desturate' rather than choose which colour channels to convert in the channel mixer. Shame whole photo isn't in focus. Don't like 3x4, 2x3 looks more professional. And this is a very cliched photo, if you're taking a photo that has been taken so many times, it has to be exceptional or a little different.

Sunset in Rhode Island

Some lovely colours, and very sharp. Composition doesn't quite work for me though, it feels unbalanced and right-heavy. There's too much negative space at the top of the frame for my taste, and the left of the shot does nothing for me. I personally would have chosen a longer lens and gone for a detail shot, prefereably from a different vantage point with a more interesting horizon.

Following the LIght

Burning of background is excessive and looks unnatural. Composition feels unbalanced, too much negative space on left, and unsure as to whether you wanted the model in the centre or not. Light is terrible, bad shadows cast especially on the wall and her face. She looks a little too posed, you don't want a snapshot. Her face is a little red/purple which should have been fixed in PS. Lots of highlights in the dress make the composition worse, and take focus away from the face. Inclusion of plants in the foreground looks accidental, you should either have not included them, or make more of a feature of them. Her pose has not flattered her figure, she looks like she's wearing a sack. I would have asked her to bring her hip in or to hide behind the door more. Hands are a very important part of any portrait, it looks like she wasn't sure what to do with her right hand. She doesn't seem terribly sharp, either bad focus or wrong shutter speed.

Autumn mist
by ATAPE

Comment:
Composition is messy, way too many textures and colours with no clear point of focus. Sky takes up a small part of the shot, and looks accidental. This photo needs a clear choice as to whether there should be sky or not. Textures seem odd, maybe high ISO or something in Photoshop. Oversaturated to the point that my eyes almost want to bleed. The mist is nice, but because of the composition, it's unclear as to whether it is a point of focus or not. Rule of thirds would definitely help here, the main horizontal line is bang in the middle of the shot which isn't good.
