Fall's Sunset: Part from the past?

The warm colors make me think summer, the trees' shapes make me think winter, and in any case this is definitely evocative. I like your choice of framing, to use the reflection rather than take the shot straight on. Beautiful colors and lines. The car right behind you is mildly distracting, but I only noticed it on my second or third study of the image.

English summer

I like this - the beauty of the town in the background, soft and out of focus, and the crisp clear realities of work that speak so to the season. :)

No Lifeguard On Duty
by Diversq

Comment:
A very summer scene, and very cool. Was the look of an older photo deliberate? It's really nice. I do wish there'd been a slightly crisper focus, probably on the lifeguard stand, though - I'm not sure if it's so soft/blurred because of focus or because of the sky behind it.

Niagara On The Lake

This is a really cool photograph, very evocative, good mood. I think the constrast of the bright lights against the dimmer trees has done it a disservice, though - areas are washed-out where others are just barely light enough. Maybe a different angle or location, so the brilliance of the restaurant (?) on the left would be more contained? Just guessing. It's a lovely scene - makes me want to step into it.

Summer in the city

Cool mural - how does it say summer? Is there something special about it that it would only have been around then? I wonder if a slightly darker image would have helped - the sky is glaring bright - but the focus on your subject is good and I'm not entirely sure it could have stood to be darkened.

I like your subject, but the focus appears to have settled on the front left - which is over-bright and therefore doesn't look quite in focus even though I think it's the closest to in focus of any of them. I'm not quite sure where to rest my eyes.

Chaos

This is really beautiful, and really fascinating. It's also very, very visually "busy" - I'm really not sure where the negative space is supposed to be in this. If it were just the black-and-white pattern, I'd take the white for negative space, but whatever the layer is over it adding distortion, it seems to disturb the flow of my eyes over the photo enough to keep from really settling on that.

The Grumpy Toad
by Marjo

Comment:
Hee. I love this guy - he's great. (And suitably grumpy-looking!) I don't know that the negative space really creates the "wow!", though. It seems more just to be there - I felt the image looked stronger when moved so that the toad more of the frame.

Hopper

How'd you get him to cooperate so well? This is a nice image, though it's a pity that most of the 'hopper is out of focus - it's visually distracting and hard to say whether that's a positive or a negative space.

Wasted Space
by Remie

Comment:
That's a pretty skyline, though a bit blurred by the distance. I'm not sure you don't have too much negative space here, though - it sort of overwhlems the photograph. If I scroll until it looks roughly square, it seems a bit stronger as an image.
