Gotta love the intersting lines of a spiral staircase. Overall well done. Some small points... I might have moved the table entirely ouf of this picture, the placement seems to interrupt the general flow of the staircase, and the clutter on the table is distracting. The lamp also creates an unwanted change in the overall lighting in one small spot, so distracts me. The lighting overall seems to be daylight, probably mid day, as it is quite harsh. In the evening using interior lights only might have been better, more warm and moody. The house seems warm so I think accentuating that would have looked quite good.

If not removing the table entirely, moving it to fit in with the curve a little more and moving most of the clutter, possibly leaving just the book and flowers.

This looks like it was probably shot at a wedding and that the guestbook table, with name cards, some candles and possibly some treats on there as well. I think less would have been more in this case, but it probably wasn't an option to go around moving things ;-)

The shadows are a bit too stark in this photo for me. The whites are generally overexposed and the blacks underexposed. Perhaps adjusting the white balance would help to even things out a little bit.

I like the dirction and flow of this photo quite a bit. I'd love to see a photo with shadows cast at an angle, early morning or later in the day. Railroad tracks always offer such interesting lines, I love seeing them with interesting shadows.

I love the shadows from the pillars. I would have loved it even more if they were even more stark and longer. I bet this photo in the evening with the sun going down would look even better, with long moody shadows in the long moody hallways.

For me this photo is okay, but could have been better. It appears as though the camera was simply tilted, and results in a diagonal perspective. I like the photo overall, but would have appreciated the lines of the bright better if it were straight with the horizon. The colours seem a bit washed out in areas as well, perhaps a bit higher aperture and a bit longer shutterspeed.

The idea is good, it does a good job of identifying the title. The subject is not lit properly however, and it detracts from the photo quite a bit. Her entire face and arm are shadowed. I'd like to see this photo with some fill in flash. Don't be afraid to use flash outdoors, it will remove harsh shadows under the eyes, nose, lips and chin in mid day sun. It will also help in situations like this, where the sky is bright, but the subject itself looks as though they are in a shadow.
