  1. Obvious slant of photo detracts as does the overall drabness of the scene. Attention to such details is what makes and breaks photos. Expanding the range of this photo and correcting the slant would improve this shot greatly. The composition is well thought out.

    Wonderfully intense color, excellent placement of the lotus and will done interesting yet non-competing background.

    Your sense of composition is good David and the subject matter is appealing but what hurts this image is lack of contrast. I browsed through your portfolio and noticed several of your other photos also suffer from lack of contrast. For a photo to not appear washed out a full range of tonal ranges is what's needed. You have no real blacks here. I noticed that you use Photoshop CS. Look at levels (control-L) and notice the left hand side of the graph. Bring the bottom left arrow over to the right and see if that doesn't help your photo. A bit of sharpening wouldn't hurt either as this also contributes to the image appearing soft.
  2. I like this photo Rafael. I'm drawn to ambiguous images that promote questions. What happened here. Did the original tenents move out? Did they lose hope? The house is obviously in a state of disrepair. In a way this could be interpreted as lost hope, failed expectations. Technically, the photo is OK. I think a better photo could have been taken but the idea that prompted you to record this scene is sound.

    Pleasant landscape. IMO, you've reached a good compromise between the sky and the land. Nice colors that are reminiscent of older print films. The entire shot has an "older" feel to it.

    It's not so much a question of the scan being bad. Don't you have any software that allows you to adjust the contrast? You have no highs or lows. Aside from the obvious technical problems, the out of focus lights in the background distract from the subject.
  3. Naturally it doesn't hurt to have an attractive model to boost the appeal of a photo. The added element of what appears to be a family photo is interesting. If the family picture was more dominant the impact might have been stronger. Nonetheless, I find this an interesting image.

    I don't think that the problem with the blurriness can be overlooked. Either next time take a tripod or edit your photos and get rid of the ones that are technically flawed.

    To my eye the framing is good and the handling of the exposure is too. As you alluded the image does seem to have some quality issues as far as noise goes. I don't mind the noise so much in the sky but the noise in the water (actually it looks more like compression artifacts) are distracting.
