By the lake

Love the abstract quality of broken relections in water. Perhaps a little busier than ideal...How moody it would be to have the 4-5 main tree trunks and just pure sky blue around them. Nice crop. It does not fit a landscape definition in the traditional sense but definately a creative spin on the term.

"Something Electric" - All Together Separate

Unique ange of an everyday object, very interesting to look at. Have you tried a composition with the spokes meeting at the center of the photo, with maybe a square frame? Just a suggestion for a symmetrical composition - not sure what works better without trying...

Under The Bridge

Image is slightly angled but otherwise its a really nice shot. Always a big fan of colorful, textured and somewhat abstract images. This one surely fits the bill. Apart from levelling the pictures, I can offer no other way to improve it :)

Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor

I don't know if your intention was to underexpose the subject or it just happened that way. If it was an accident, to correct the situation you either overexpose the subhect, or move your camera in until the person fills the frame, take an exposure reading and move out. Either way, I think iy would have been nice if it was exposed a little more so we can see the person playing it. Still a moody photo, good shot.

Red, red wine

This is definately an exceptional image! From the unique background and the patterns reflected on the glass, to the surrealistic distortion of the rightmost glass and the upper right shape that almost looks like a face... I don't know if the bottom shadow is recieving any critcism but I find it adds to the picture , making the background a little more dynamic. My only nitpick is that I find the glass object at the extreme right is a superflous element that didn't need to be there. Keepin the same height, and cropping your photo so that this glass is no longer present, at least in my eye, creates a much more visually pleasing photo. Very artistic, a great capture nonetheless, one of my favs this week. I hope a "How'd they do that?" is written on this one :)

The Rose

In terms of lighting, exposure, focus, you're dead on. This is a more than technically sound image, it definately has an emotional component - the image conveys beauty. Some might think its a simple interpretation of a title but I think it works more than on just the literal level. My one gripe is the square format. I've tried looking at the photo cropped on the top and bottom and no matter how I do it, I always find the landscape format more appealing - maybe because the rose seems to be leaning towards the left,not sure. Overall, a shot to be very proud of.

Night & Day

You caught a beautiful sunset. Quite a transition from the bright colors down at the bottom to the somber greys at the top. I feel the photo lacks somewhat due to a sparse/uninteresting and tilted foreground. Sunset pictures combined with some other dominant element generally have more impact. Try finding a large, interesting natural or artificial feature (mountains, trees, interesting building(s), etc.) and stalk that location for a good sunset oppurtunity.

Four Calling Birds

Nice lighting and background, composition effective also. I think the photo is hurt slightly by the rightmost out-of-focus bird, even if it is intentional.

Four Seasons

I had this idea in mind and couldn't think of a way to get all four seasons together, so I nixed my plan. Glad to see someone's execution of the idea! Pulled off pretty well, interesting arrangement.

Looks like a technically complex shot. Whole image seems a tad too soft, but with that critcism aside, its got great colors and reflections that seem strategically placed to make an interesting composition. And having four small bubble refkections is also impressive.
