I am pretty sure you're not supposed to use the words "Orlando" and "architecture" in the same sentence.

I am thinking a portrait orientation would be great, but then you're talking about an entirely separate photo. This shot is as much about the day (the beach, the weather) as the subject, and losing much on either side would make this more specifically about the kid. -
It is the muted colors--and the boy's hidden hands--that go a long way towards conveying the chilliness of the day. I like how the shore seems to arc around behind the lad, bringing everything forward in the shot. Because I'm some sort of minimalist, I would have cropped out the greenery in the upper left, but seeing it here it helps establish the shot. Very nice.

I've looked at this about five times to decide whether I like it or not. I do think that this could be cropped from the bottom, as the out-of-focus overalls do nothing for the overall composition. I want to dislike the soft focus, but it seems to bring out the skin. I think you caught a great expression here.
-
Great color. Did you try a crop that eliminates the right side of this shot? I find the unlit right side here far less compelling. -
Was there no way to squeeze your face into this shot?
-
That's a great lens dude, enjoy.

The color and composition here are great, so I am going to nit pick. This would actually look a lot more refreshing were it not a third empty and all the ice melted. Still, the sweat on the glass suggests it's still cold. I'm guessing you were goofing around and found you were on to something. Right?

Hey, Grant Wood, I like this one a lot. Every color pops, yet nothing looks synthetic. I especially like the crop, as the large pumpkin on the lower right makes an excellent anchor. Nice job.
-
At peace? Enjoying a peaceful moment, perhaps, but she's still alive in this shot, I think.

You've got the shallow DOF, which is good, but I think there is way too much background here to clutter things up.
-
Can't find much to complain about. Looks like a cute capture and the light is good. I like it. -
-
The light was good when you took this shot. I am not sure that I would have left as much of the less interesting building at the bottom, though. Cool find. -
This is almost too simple to work, but I like it a lot. I feel like I should take issue with the dark spot upper right, but seems to work very well here. Nice.

Charmed to meet you. I hope all your comments are as endearing. Your helpful guidance will be blessing to the entire PN community.

Hey Ansel, I like this one a lot. What I like most is how everything but the ice is black and white, with the frozen water bringing in the only gray tones.

If you want to seriously highlight these bottles, you're going to want to find a suitable background. The screen/trees/black window frames are really distracting. Also, I think the bottles are far too close to each other. Play with them: try staggering them, or simple moving them further apart. Right now your eye can't follow the surface of the bottle very far before the next bottle draws you away. This looks like a cool project.

And I can see you® reflection just below the eye. -

Horse pucky, indeed. David, I, too have a soft spot for the relics of misplaced optimism, and A find much of it in my collection of derelict signs.

Check'em out of you have the chance. While they aren't always especially artistically rewarding to photograph, they do all have a story, and are worth
being captured.
Anyway, I'm done. Keep shooting,
