I think the last one is the best by far. Very nice colors and composition. I would crop out the orange light on the right hand side.

Nice! I like that you've captured his reflection in the center of the wall inside the window, as if he's another mannequin in there.

Beautiful! As said, great composition. I think you did well to darken the top of the sky.

Great photo.

I think that participating in Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photowalk this year was particularly satisfying to me, as I traveled to a familiar small Southern coastal town with my mother to do so. And I think I got a shot that encapsulates what I was looking for and feeling that day.

I like the composition, the blue, and the abstract quality. Nice!

I like #4 as well. It has a bizarre quality with the three "people" that don't seem to go together. The yellow sticker should be easy enough to clone out.

The next set I like a lot, especially the first.

Wonderful photos, I especially love that portrait. Well seen.

And #1 is pretty cool too.

May I make a request?....

If anyone lives in, or is travelling through, the Cambridge area please stop by the Green Man Public House (59 High Street, Grantchester) for a bite and a pint! A friend of mine from my school-age years is the new proprietor of this fine establishment, and reopened it this month. I would be so proud to send customers his way!

(Pssst, and take some pics of it too, I haven't seen any yet!!)

The second for me too. I guess I'll be the lone detractor here and say I like the grass. I believe the picture loses depth when you crop it out.

Also, there's blue, red, yellow, and green here, creating a staircase of primary color that the eye registers even if you don't realize it. And the red and green are complementary colors, which can promote healthy competition of elements, but here I think it gives balance with the other primaries present.

Just my opinion of course. I place a lot of importance on color sometimes. Think my fine art background brings this out in my critique of photography, but being well versed in color theory is a good thing.
