I really like the perspective of the first shot. I would bump the contrast just a bit, but I think the second shot way over-does the saturation in my opinion.
The saturation works a little better on the third shot, I think - although I would still tone it down a bit. It's also a nicely composed shot, but if you can I would clone out the one puffy white cloud at the bottom. I think the lines of the other clouds are nice and add to the composition, but the puffy one is a distraction to me.
The last two shots don't really hold any interest to me at all as far as subject and composition. The one thing you might want to watch in the bottom pic is you're very slanted at that ground level. I would rotate the pic to even that out.
I hope this has been helpful! Looks like you're off to a good start. |

| On second look...I guess that last shot isn't really slanted, it's just the perspective of the camera on that pathway. Looking beyond the path, the buildings and lamp posts are just fine. Oh well...that's why I always look again, especially when I'm scoring challenges! |

Heh, its alright... I was looking at that shot again, I couldn't find the slant you were talking about.
But I'm go back to that spot, and wait a person to stand at the end... to give it a better sense of distance.

I added some contrast to that first shot, and you're right it does look better...
And I cropped out the puffy cloud in the other one..

Hope you don't mind, I'm bored, so I played around with your first shot too. Here's what I came up with, but you might think it's too dark. I tend to like more dark and contrasty shots.
Also, I did like the crop of the other photo - just not the cloud. I think I'd try cloning out the cloud instead of cropping more off the bottom of the shot and losing more of the building. Just my two cents worth. |
