I really like this street scene that you took, Prem. I could almost feel the energy and smell the flavors. There's a lot of action on this scene but it doesn't distract from our main subject. I wish that the image wasn't fuzzy though--you're right, maybe a faster shutter speed would've worked well for this. I would also probably just crop out the bottom part so that the horizontal line of the stove is deleted together with that hand at the bottom right. Nice picture.

Welcome to TE, Wez. Glad to have you on board. This is a nice photo depicting the tranquil nature that Thailand's beaches are known for. If I may offer a couple of suggestions which you can take with a grain of salt... remember the rule of thirds--you can crop off part of the top so that where the blue sea meets the green, it would sit on the top third of the image. Also, I might just adjust the levels or saturation to perhaps bring a little more color to the water. Good job again.

I don't know if you do any post processing with your work, but this one can probably use a little sharpening to really emphasize the wounds and make the overall shot gritty. Maybe even add some more contrast by adjusting the curves and burning some of the details.

An unusual subject matter and a very interesting image. Good composition with the diagonal of the vine and nice work on the blur on the background. Parts of the vine, however, looks a bit blurred; perhaps they can use a little sharpening. Nice job.
