Flags sitting on the corner of the White House. All feedback appreciated.

All feedback appreciated - shot was, for want of luggage space, handheld.

All feedback appreciated!

Nicely framed, and a nice idea. The postures are repeated, but in different combinations along the line - works well.

All feedback appreciated - candid shot, natural light.

Cute little image - framed well, colours stand out and the focusing is dead on. Nice one!

Available light really works here - not so sure you'd have got the same soft light effect with anything artificial. It's nicely posed too - doesn't seem forced.

Nice image - the statue sits nicely in the frame. The leaf doesn't help - it's good in the sense that it breaks up the sharper lines of the statue, but it points right into the middle of the frame, and as such feels awkward to my mind.

 

Perhaps think about tweaking the colours to make them stand out. I can't tell what equipment you've used, but a polariser might have helped with colour saturation if you don't have photoshop.

 

Keep shooting!

All feedback appreciated - shot was entirely candid, no posing.

A simplicity here which seems to lack in so many images - takes a straightforward concept, some beautiful colour and makes it all gel together.

Love the concept - crosses two rather overdone genres to create something new. Nice juxtaposition of the cool blue buildings and the more lively greens and reds in the foliage. If I had to say anything, it's that the foliage rises rather high up in the image - it seems to obscure the scale of the buildings somewhat.

With you on the soft look working. The greenery doesn't seem to stand out particularly - it's a small criticism, but nonetheless I think it'd make more impact with deeper greens.

Rather unorthodox composition with lovely contrast means this image has a hell of a lot of punch. Nice one.

All feedback appreciated - shot taken in dress rehearsal.

I like the vertical lines on the surfaces. The green across two sides frames it nicely.

 

If anything, I'd be tempted to crop some off the bottom - it'd stop the bottom half being exlcusively dark, and the top half exclusively lighter. Perhaps line it up along the rule of thirds?

I quite like the water not being sharp - there's something about the path of water flowing from right to left, going down and then out, which gives it a real sense of movement. The rock in the background is a nice couterpoint to the waterfall, balncing up the composition nicely.

Any feedback appreciated

The crop definitely suits the image - nicely positioned in the frame.

 

The lens seems focused on the trees - would have been interesting to see the focus on the foal's hair instead.

 

Colours work well together - good spot!

I'm not sure the seagull stands out enough as a point of interest to give the picture some real impact.

 

Pretty well composed, though. You can't exactly knock them down, but the hills behind the cliffs perhaps distract from their shape.
