College Life - Engineering Homework

I like the inclusion of the tools here, and the different shapes/colors/lines from the various objects. I do wish the page of the open book on th eleft weren't quite so washed out, though, and that the protractor was a bit crisper (the bright blue draws my eyes to it, as if it were a main subject, but it's not as crisp as the books).

silent.... but not for long

I really like the composition of this shot. There are a lot of compression artifacts on the diagonal lines, though - most noticeable on the leftmost bus (top of door, top of windows, line below the text and lights), but also definitely visible on some of the other buses.

This is such a classic school-related shot, though.

I really like this image - the sheer beauty of the scene is substantial - but it does seem to have a fair number of jaggies along the horizontal lines of the building in particular.

This is a great shot - a good time to center, and I like the stair-step effect you got from this angle, as well. The sepia tone works well with this subject and the crisp focus.

Back to the age of black and white

A great shot. Just enough space above and below to frame the boats, and you let them dominate the picture as they should. The lines are nicely crisp, especially considering that's without any sharping edits available. A hint of compression artifacts on the edges of the rolled sails, maybe in the water (not sure) and at the bow of the white boat, but fairly minor - not the kind that jump out of you.

The date and the choice of pen are a nice touch. Not sure if the pen really would have looked just that way or not (looks a little too crisp to me, but I don't know pens through history), but the feel of it is just right. This is great.

This is a lovely photograph - I especially like the way it's taken against the stacked firewood, a perfect background for the tone you're creating. The wrap is an especially nice touch, drawing the eye back to the man rather than letting attention wander too randomly about.

Perfect lighting and focus for a shot like this...a memory-lane sort of feel. Very nice.

A wonderfully sweet image, feels very much like opening a door into the past. There's a hint of softness to the woman, as if she moved a little while the photograph was being taken; with everything else so crisp, it's a minor distraction from a lovely photo.

This is a very evocative photo - I like the crisp clarity that black and white gives it.
