Choice of subject matter is good. The use of depth of field who really help to bring out the details in the Hot Wheels. The details in most Hot Wheels vehicle makes it a good subject to get close to.

The viewers eyes after looking at the beautiful flames seem to wonder around the image. Giving the shot more dof would give a certain point of interest and make the composition more striking.

The focusing seems to be on the reflective surface that the car is placed on. You can almost feel the texture of the bookcase. This definitely works very well with the vibrant colors reflecting off the surface.

... for my son

This is truly a magnificient scene and tender moment. A slightly closer crop would give a more intimate feeling to the composition. Cropping the left side of your shot closer toward your eyes and cropping up to the right side up your sons shoulder would help to give this feeling.

The catchlight on your sons' eyes really make this a beautiful shot and helps the viewers eye look right at it. Your lighting technique on this shot is extremely well done. The contrast on both side of his face make this shots very interesting and appealing.

Texture of the skin is very nice and detailed. Depth of field is good. The subject is projected forward with from the background and makes it easier for your eyes to focus in on the foot. I can't help but feel that a tiny bit more contrast would add more impact to this shot.

Leveling the background wall will also help the composition. Just can't seem to look at the image to long before trying to tip my head to align the background straight.

Possible addition of foot jewelry or the like may add additional interest to the shot. The line in the background that is included would possibly bring focus to that.

An Airplane Seat View

Quite an interesting view. The odd shaped window frames the picture well. The negative space around the frame feels correct. Don't know if anybody is going to say crop closer, but I feel it's perfect.

The view is not the most interesting but you were able to get some good elements in the shot, from the trees to the sky in the background. The house that is almost centered in the shot seems to be the main subject of the shot. "8"

Breath taking view from the beach from the incredible blue water to the fluffy white clouds in the sky. The 2 subjects in the photo adds the human factor and makes you feel like you are there with them."10"

A bottle in the wall ...

Interesting scene in which your eyes are lead from the top of the bottle toward the bottom where the bridge is framed. It would be nice to see have you go back to this scene and take a shot in which the sky for bluer and clouds where hanging about. Mother nature doesn't always help out. "10" if you promise to go back one day to reshoot.

Love the vivid red color of the flower, it really brings your eyes toward the subject. The lighting from the top give it a dramatic feeling. The metal fence framing the subject makes for the perfect contrast to the soft texture of the flower. "10"

Holes in the Walls

This composition really makes me want to buy a convertible car and race around the road enjoying the sun. Your eye follows the road from tunnel to tunnel. Love the duotone that you use for this shot. Contrast gives you a great feeling of the mountains rocky texture. "10"

I feel that a closer crop would give this composition even more impact. The subject matter is extremely interesting backed by the beautiful clouds and the cityscape. "8"
