I like this image; good composition, and a lot of potential. Good note too. I felt it was lacking in techincal aspects, though; mainly it has a severe lack of contrast. So I made a workshop, hope you like it.

Beautiful! I like the angle; the slightly diagonal flow of the water adds a little dynamism to the composition. I'm also wondering where this is.

Heh, I like this; it looks like it's about to take a tumble, too. I like how the vertical lines in the trunk give kind of a sense of stability, but everything below it is the antithesis of that. Sort of like a house of cards.

I like how the features of the person aren't visible here, providing a layer of abstraction to the image. Composition is good, not much to say about that.

Good note, that technique looks like it takes talent! It took me a while to see exactly what he was doing; that's some amazing balance there.

Very nice expression you captured. Composition is great, with good head placement vertically and a nice amount of room in front of her ("lead room", is that called? I can't recall the term at the moment).

Also a very nice subtle tone. Welcome to TE!

I like the composition here; the right side of the picture is very static and stable because of the straight vertical lines, whereas the left is more dynamic due to diagonal curved lines. And of course the colors. That is indeed a very strange post office.

Woah. .very cool. Very nice composition; the diagonal line of sand adds dynamism. How is the sand lit, btw? It seems odd that such a pattern of sand would exist or be lit like that.

Good idea here; I like the fact that the mountains are out of focus, but the chain is very sharp. I want to look at the mountains, but it's like the chain is holding me back.

It definitely invokes a strong feeling, for sure. :)

The composition is very, very good, especially for a panorama (where many photographers don't think as much about composition). The slope of the foreground on the left carries the viewer's gaze in a gentle curve to the foreground on your right, where the ridgeline takes over and brings your gaze directly to the center top of the image to look at the mountains at the far end of the valley. At least, that's where my eyes took me. :)

I like the composition (nice converging lines), and you have a nice reflection. But the white balance seems green to me. I posted a workshop with a correction.
