Really distracting billboard and pole (or tree trunk?) I'm sure you had reasons for choosing this angle, so some selective cropping might have helped. Aren't these "living statues" amazing!

Nicely done pic with a great title! Good security, too - no heads and in the "old" BDUs...

Still Waters Run Deep

What a lovely evening sky! There's a lot I like about this image, but the legs for some reason bother me. I think it's because the torso is bisected by the treeline. And the body also bisects the image. Maybe try some different crops - taking a bunch off the right side would (IMO) create a much more interesting composition right off the bat. I'm also wondering how a seated pose would have worked silhoutted against the water rather than the sky...

California Palm Trees?

Very humorous and a nice composition with a dramatic sky. It might benefit from some of the post-processing tricks they are talking about on the Landscape Photo Learning Thread. Check it out and see what you think.

A lovely spot and nice composition. The colors in the lower half seem unnatural to me. Is it really orange?

Still Moth On Leaded Window

Nice capture - I don't know that I've ever before been this familiar with a moth's face! There is something about the composition that is not working for me, but I can't put my finger on just what it is. I like the colors and the perspective lines. Would have preferred a slightly deeper field. I know this must have been a tricky shot to take.

A Moment In Time

I appreciate the simplicity here, but think the composition could use a little more thought. Is there a reason that the background shadow intersects with the subject's chin? The shallow depth of field works to good advantage for the background, but perhaps needs to be just a bit deeper to make sure the silhoutte is sharply focused throughout.

I enjoy the idea here. The selective desat doesn't add anything for me. I also find the composition a bit cluttered. I'm especially disturbed by the cut off head at the bottom.

Overall I like the lighting effects. Part of me really wants to know what is at the top of those columns!
