If you don't mind me coming in here, with little or no criticism , just a few personal opinions ..as asked

Your pictures are beautiful,
the love birds scene is very romantic with the focus especially on the couple
The other 'misty' daily goings on, all around and about them, is wonderful ..
its not unlike a soft painting
Only one thing I would rather not there, is the big girl on the left, in the dark outfit, I could do without her grabbing my eye away from the couple,
but not easy to get a photograph of people moving about without someone getting in the way.....
(the magic 'photoshop' will probably deal with that : )

Love the snail at the 'animal ' place
and the seal , hope he/she wasn't in pain
(because thats what I look like ,when I am : )

The most beautiful 'wooden bridge' shot is perfect
I don't think anyone could fault it
I love it

and the 'cop in water' picture..... I was wondering about that before it opened, because my husband is /was a cop
and I thought the picture could possibly be a policeman in 'deep water' : ))
until I saw it then
and realised that it was a helicopter (' cop ')

really nice pictures on your gallery
and I haven't seen the half of them yet : )
Thanks

regards
marie

Some comments:
Picture 7 and 8 drew my attention straight away and was eager to see these in ful size. But from the start:

Picture 1: loose everyone except the couple (PS challenge)
Picture 2: nice
Picture 3: colors too soft and contrast to low (bad weather?). Think you can improve by some editing.
Picture 4: too much sky, would like to see more beach. Horizon is tilted.
Picture 5: good one
Picture 6: there are a lot of things distracting
Picture 7: I so wish that that one big white neon wasn't there. Otherwise great shot and good colors.
Picture 8: from thumbnails I thought this would be the best. In full size a few comments:
- picture is tilted
- try a tighter crop fromthe bottom and remove all tarmac
- would have loved this shot from a lower level upwards. Bench would have looked great against those stunning fall colors.

Hope this helps you.
