I like the saturation of the pics in general.

#1: I like the concept, but some context for me would be helpful. By context i mean giving your viewer a bit of a sense of what they are actually looking at by including some periphery on the building or seen. Nice capture though.

#2: Love the concept, a solid picture for sure. The warm rocks contrast the cool background and water well. I would like to see a bit more of the rock formation to the right in this picture. When i look at it i feel like i need to scroll over a bit, though i can't.

#3: Soft. Takes away a lot from the picture. The bird should be the focal point, but its hard to see that because of the soft focus and because the dark floating stuff is the first thing to attract my attention in the picture, not the bird.

#4: Nice landscape, wish it could have been wider. Again with the scrolling thing, my mind thinks there should be more to this picture. The smoke on the left side detracts from this picture primarily because i have no idea why it is there or where it is coming from. A wider frame could tell that story better.

#5: A beautiful picture, again, nice warm foreground cool background. I think a great choice here would have been to walk around to the right farther and put these buildings on a diagonal that would lead the eye out into the clouds and stuff below, giving a great sense of scale. The perpendicular-to-the-camera line isn't that interesting.

Hope this was helpful!

Thanks !

I'm waiting for the sigma 10-20mm, so I will be able to get wider shots ;)
(currently I only have the 18-55mm that came with my canon rebel and a 55-200mm)

Should be a great lens. Wide angle is definitely interesting, if not difficult to master, territory. Post some pics when you get it!

Am I too dense or all the 'locations' the exact same imag?

That's what I'm getting as well, but I'd like a pint of whatever Feilb's been drinking!!!!!!!

Or . . all of these locations have the same exact street captured with the same exact light. . .

I like the DOF and the mountains in the background of the Hawaii pic. Great shot.

I like the last pic in Hawaii, was that on top of Mount Haleakala by any chance in Maui?
