I think the angle is just right - square-on makes a good strong composition, and helps the man blend into the background. I almost didn't see him at first. The red and yellow pole adds some depth. Nice shot!

I like the limited colour palette and the perspective. It could benefit from rotating a little anti-clockwise. If we could see more of the banana skin the yellow might make an interesting contrast with the blue.

Aha, a TE favourite theme! Nice use of the curve to lead the eye to the lighthouse, and sharp from front to back. I'm a bit disturbed that the lighthouse is in shadow, and the handrail is sunlit - it would have been better the other way round.

A fascinating scene and your note brings it to life. The image is very noisy, but thanks to the texture of the stone it isn't too disturbing.

beautiful soft light and muted colours, I like this scene a lot. One problem I have is the bright red sign - I made a workshop.

Good choice not to remove the blue cast or try to correct the mistiness. I might have changed my viewpoint slightly to put the bridge tower against plain sky.

Nice timing to capture his grace, his robes contrast perfectly with the blue bus. It's not sharp, but I can forgive that!

I like her pose, and it's a good insight into Finnish life. It's a snatched shot in the street, so we shouldn't expect technical perfection, but was the background blown out before you adjusted curves?

Very well-realised landscape, it's a pity the sky is so empty but not much you can do about that. You're lucky to have a lens which stops down far enough to keep everything sharp - well done.

That look slike a very civilised theme park, no white-knuckle rides and near death experiences! Nice understated photo, well-exposed and sharp, not exciting but a good record nonetheless.
