doesn't work for me. May be useful as a web site background or something, but those are easier to create in The Gimp or whatever didgital tool you use.

I just doesn't seem to *do* anything. It's a pretty background, but where is the subject?

Two blue parrots in an intersting pose. It's a shame the scan is so small - it's hard to comment on any details.

I like the parrots, I like the white tree, and I like the background at the right (what *is* it, anyhow?). My problem is this: two is fine, but three is a crowd. I think the picture would be stronger if it was cropped (even more!) to show just two elements. Either crop to include the tree and the birds, but exclude the background, or include the birds and the background, but exclude the stem of the tree.

This is a very powerful image. Strong lines, bold composition and an absolutely perfect expression on his face.

Well done!

I'm not sure I can find anything (negative) to critisise...

Hmm,, it's an intersting geometric shape, and you have done right in keeping it on b&w.

However, I find that what I typically like about this *type* of image, is to explore the texture. But in your picture, there isn't any?

If the wall is interesting, the get closer to that for an almost two-dimentional composition. Otherwise you have probably done the best there could be done...

Hm, nice, interesting background, pretty flower.

Get closer?

He! Lovely splash of color.

Either go closer or wider: the current compositoon fails to satisfy.

Hi there!

Flash is a little strong, and I don't know if the subject is captivating.

Nice contrast between the pastel colors in the top and the "hard" metal at the bottom.

Light could be better....

Nice geometric patters.

You could probably improve the composition by avoiding the wall at the bottom

I like stairs.

In this one the sloping of the building on the left is very disturbing, and the light is a little harsh.

Interesting building.

What happened to the mid-tones in this image?

Nice idea, but probably too much shadow?

Put a man under one of those lamps next time...

Father and son? this image has humor.

Crop a little off the top?

Nice framing and beautiful subject.

The bottom third is very dark: crop?

I like him! Lovely stone-work you found there, and good light.

Not sure about the background

Spring!

Probably not enough in the composition to captivate the viewer...
