Interesting composition and I like how you captured the ladies dance formation. With that said, the photo being out of focuse kills it for me. One might say it's the movement of the dancers but if you look closely the foreground and the background are equally out of foucus.

I wish I could see both faces of the couple and that the closeup of the women's face was a tad darker. But all-in-all I still think this photo is very compelling. I like it!

Nice overall photo. The choice of sepia adds to the mood of this photo. Good timing in capturing the clouds, a cloudless sky would have lessen the mood.

The reflections move this photo up a notch for me. Otherwise it's a nice standard shot that most wedding photographers have captured. By adding the reflections it makes in more unique and ties the bride in with her surroundings.

Sorry there's not too much here to get excited about.

I like how you used the trees to frame the photo. The clouds add to the overall mood. If it was a bright sunny day this photo would have less impact. Nicely done!

The railing in the corner makes this photograph. Take away that and it's a lot less effective. Nice job!

I like the model and what she is wearing. I'm mot too sure the background works with this. Perhaps a darker more neutral background would work best.

Interesting photo. I like the grittiness that the photo projects. Also the composition is interesting and has great eye appeal.

Interesting. I like the rim light.

I like the composition, the shadow on the wall, the lighting, even the framed pictures in the background give it some depth. What spoils this photograph for me is the softness of the main subject and that's too bad. I want to like this photo a lot, but I can't get by the out of focus musician.

A common subject made interesting with imagination and skill. Well done!

Interesting house and nice warm colors but too much in the foreground distracts from the overall image. I would have loved this photo much better if you would have moved in and concentrated on the house.

The figure in the foreground makes this photo and separates it from hundreds of others that I've seen dealing with the Northern Lights. Not that the others are neccessary bad, it's just that many of them look the same.

The photo is soft in many areas. There could also be better seperation of the layers in the rock formation. This could be helped through various printing/Photoshop methods. It's an interesting subject that doesn't come off well for me because of some of the technical details that need to be improved.

Took one step too far in my opinion. Get rid of the white birds. They are annoying and don't add anything except clutter.

The spot on the glasses is too annoying.

The lighting and color reminds me of the old chromes from the '50's.

The "Old house" in this photo is being dominated by the unattractive old tree to the right. It doesn't add anything and only hides what appears to be an interesting old door behind it. Perhaps shooting more from the left side would get rid of the tree and show more of the house with its many interesting features.

The hot spot from the street lamp really takes away from the mood of the photo. The eye keeps looking over in that direction like a deer caught in headlights. Cropping out the light and concentrating on the fence and trees to the right would yield a much better photograph.

The hot spots on the right side really dominate this photo and takes away any good aesthetics. A tighter crop would probably help this photo immensely.
