Nice, cool tones and great contrast throughout. The sky here is gorgeous, especially with the split between cirrus and cumulus clouds. My eyes are drawn to the dark black rock in the top-right of the image--nicely composed!

Simple, but nice colour contrast and good lines. It gets me thinking about what it is, which is good.

You'll probably get a lot of "too dark" comments on this one, but I think it has potential. The lighting on the face is actually quite good, and it is a very emotionally-driven image. I think a tighter crop on the face (leaving the light and blinds out altogether) would have been extremely effective.

Nice colours in the sky, with good contrast in the steam. The foreground elements really help add something to this picture. Good job.

Very nice composition of the boat, and a good job of maintaining most of the detail. I can't help but wonder what this would look like with some added contrast in the sky and trees.

Edinburgh in Colour

Great job of framing the castle here to draw the eye toward it. The reds, greens, and yellows in the trees are stunning, and the castle is nicely sharpened. Great control of exposure, too.

Very nice colours. The oranges and greens look great together, and the exposure is great from near-whites to rich blacks. Good control.

Well, I think I need to start using a square crop; there's so much to look at! THe colours are beautiful here, and all the greens complement each other nicely. The reflection is nice but not blown out, and the rock arch helps keep the eye in the picture. Nice job.

Just beautiful colours and sky here! A bit more contrast in the sky might help it pop a bit more, but I really like this.

America's Most Beloved Ballpark

Very cool perspective and good use of wide angle. The large negative spaces of the outfield and sky contrast well with the busy infield and crowd.

One issue I have with the image is that it gives everything away. I'm not left wondering or piecing together aspects of what "could have been there". Much like comparing reading a book to watching a movie, there's little left to the imagination. It's still a good image from a technical aspect.
