Taken with Olympus Pen-Lite ePL3 with 50-year-old Accura Diamatic 35mm lens. Please enjoy, and help me improve.

These great parallel lines reinforce for me that the water is about a meter above the ground, and holding there. But you have to want to see that fact, unlike the more common scene of the mostly submerged car where it's undeniable and somehow boring. It's a huge volume of water behind those bags-- huge. I feel its release would be extremely violent. Thank you for this image.

First, amateur impression: I would like to see this in a vertical orientation. The door, the green dots, the fluorescent lights inside, to me these all dictate the frame. This is the kind of neon scene I would have hung on my wall when I was a certain age. Thanks for sharing it.

Good exposure, with the sun low and at your back. Figures and details are visible inside the truck. The blue sky is a bit flat, though natural enough looking. Not the warmest of days, judging from the absence of short pants? Does the angle of the sun also suggest spring or fall, rather than high summer? If I'm wrong and it's summer, I would go for a slightly more over-exposed look. The subject in profile is studying the menu, hence the title, perfect. I so much wish, though, to see someone reaching for their order or the mustard. It's very static at this moment, with little to suggest the bustle of business. Inside the truck, of course... The striping of the pavement and the angle of the entire shot are very pleasing. Thank you for this shot.

I like the subject-- selfies may not be new but the final word on them is far away, I think. I am very impressed by the sky's vertical color progression. Also the match between the sky and the generally blue clothing of the people. Is this one of a large number of shots, is it planned, or what? How is the sky made white immediately around the bodies? Is that a post-production effect?

[f/4.5, 1/80, ISO 400, Olympus PL3 m4/3, 19mm Sigma Art lens] I'm new to serious photography. This Pen-Lite is the best camera I've ever owned. I've done nothing post, except crop a little. Thanks for your feedback!
