What I like about your viewpoint is that it gives no sense of scale. It could be the size of a bicycle wheel. One small improvement might be possible: wait for the moment when the spokes are symmetrical placed.

I had almost depaired that photo.net would be completely given over to pretty pictures. I saw a standard view that features on many postcards and calendars given scores of 6 for originality and my heart sank. Your portfolio is almost all original and insightful, many of the pictures with a double meaning or a sting in their tail.

Even this simple image has ideas of poached eggs, of sperm and ovum and of the sun's rays. But the reflection of the photographer challenges us to remember "No, it is just a picture of ants feeding". Or is it?

Is this a photo or a watercolour painting?

I like it. I would also like to see the rose positioned in a patch of blue sky. Did you try that?

I suggest you crop out the cars and the aerials and concentrate on the reflections.

Does he have Velcro on his feet?

These shots are impossible to expose correctly. Did you consider waiting until the sun was on your right, shining into the courtyard and using fill flash to illuminate the wall?

I like the way you have re-interpreted a common and utterly benign object and made it both strange and familiar.

Intriguing. The sapling on the right, the mature tree on the left, the dead stump in the centre tell of the cycle of life. The picture invites us to ask waht is in the gap in front of the forest, and what did the fallen tree land in.

This doesn't need the cutesie title - the image is interesting in its own right.

Intriguing - makes me want to know what and where. And it made me smile.

I like the rhythm.

One to be proud of! A strong sense of place and of scale. Black and white was a good choice. I can't fit all of your posted version on my screen - but the enforced cropping of 5% off the left and 10% off the right improves it for me.
