very nice...a bit more contrast overall would do wonders.

The Spring around the corner

This image has promise, but I would check your horizon, make sure it's even with the top and bottom of the image. Also, waiting for the car to pass would be advantageous to the image, having it their takes away from the serenity. Pump up the contrast so that you have some pure whites and black blacks. :)

this image would be better if you pumped up the contrast. There's no real blacks and no pure whites to set it off. Nice effort though.

there are no pure whites in this picture. I think that if there were, it would be a lot closer to an Ansel picture. The thing that he's most known for outside of his landscapes is the use of the entire scale from pure white to pure black. Pump up the contrast and you'll have a spectacular photo.

It looks a bit oversharpened, or as if it's a scanned newspaper photo...not sure why that is...otherwise very good.

Land between the lakes

I think the title would better match if you actually saw some of the lake that the land is between.

I don't want to know what the submitted one looks like! Doh! Where are the Scarborough Bluffs?

I can't say I really like the pose. First of all, although her eyes are inviting you in, her jaw seems very rigidly set - saying go away.

Secondly, the way her body is positioned, makes her shoulders look extremely broad and pointy, and is not flattering at all to this model, who happens to be very attractive.

The lighting however is gorgeous.
