I like the out of focus areas on the first one but the subject needs to be better defined. What were you trying to achieve with these shots?

They seem sort of spur of the moment, perhaps spend some more time with your subject and develope it more fully...

I like #5. A little more depth of field would be good. I like how it gets out of focus in the distance, but seeing a little bit more in focus would be nice. I like it in B&W. Maybe more contrast would work well.

Number 5 is a very nice shot. Do you have the same shot using different aperture settings?

The others are a little too busy in the backgrounds for my taste. The leaf pointing across the flower in Number 6 is a little distracting. The same could be said of the leaves in front of the tomatoes in Number 3.

I like the tomato shot (#3) the best. The lighting and color give it a pleasant, relaxed feeling.
I think it might have benefited from plucking the leaf that obscures the yellow tomatoes and from cropping out the brown vertical bar on the right.

I have only one shot of the pillar, but I test other aperture settings next time:D

And thanks for your suggestion, some of the background are too complex. I'll do some improvement.

Thanks. I like the tomato too. All my shots have not been cut, perhaps I should do more late PS:lol:

I like number 5, to be honest I'm not sure the "point" of number 1, and the others are "ok."
