Just a hack myself, but here's what strikes me intially...

First and last shots are nice, but they don't really jump out at me as anything special. I like the third...nice framing and composition. Colors look nice except the top of the monument is slightly overexposed. It's your second shot which I really like though. Nice perspective and composition. Centering works pretty well here I think. My only thought is that this would have looked better if shot vertically rather than horizontally.

As Chuck says, just a hack myself. I like them all. They are well composed and executed...the composition on number 3 in particular. I do like evening/night shots and yours are very good. The high contrast certainly suits photo 2.

Regards,
Peter

Thanks for the coments guys.

Though not exactly related, I thought I'd post alink to a web site I made for Aerial Photography from RC panes. I mounted a Canon S10 digital camera to a plane, and took some neat shots.

Go to the following site...

http://www.squid-ink.com/rc-photos and type CANON S10 in the search box.

Scared the heck out of me strapping the camera to my plane, but it was a neat experiment. Apparently alot of oher folks are doing the same since I've gotten over 800 photos from other people from all over the world. :)

First shot, the tree in front is a distraction. Shame, otherwise very nice.
Second, Nice slight vignette, comp and colour. Great photo.
Third, one thing that keeps this photo from being perfect is it is not level. Rotate cc by 1.
Forth, Doesn't hold interrest very long as the monument is far away and doesn't give much to look at. However, the colour and vignette is very nice.

NIce shots but to pick up on Conk's point.. even the 4th shot does not feel level. The water feels off -- but maybe not. If it is vertical, then location may not be optimal..

The leaf framing is a great idea but to work well would require a thicker bush that blocks out most of the water, and none of the building.

Good pics.


on the third pic, i felt that more depth of field would have been better. either way, it is still a good pic. i just feel that more sharpness is needed.

for the last pic good judgement on the rule of thirds.

cheers!!!
