Nicely framed! I bet that was scary.

Nice choice to go b&w. I love the urban graphic feel of this and all the leading lines drawing the eye upward. Nice job.

Beautiful composition and warm colors! I love this.

Very interesting composition. Too bad the end and the sky are a bit washed-out. Try setting your exposure in a medium-brightness area of the frame then moving back to your original point to shoot. You might lose a little detail in the shadows but make up for it with a nice blue sky and details in the highlights.

Love how such a mundane object looks so cool and abstract! Nice job.

Looks like fun! A tighter crop in on the left side would help, I think. That half-balloon and the extraneous stuff above it distract from the perfect repetition in the staircase.

I love the angle and the composition. Very nicely done. I think maybe an adjustment of sorts to bring out the contrast would help it "pop" a little more.

Gorgeous lighting and color! The detail is beautiful.

Nice diagonal with the two main trees. It seems a bit washed-out though, with not a lot of definition.

Very interesting, but I think a wider crop at the top would help. It's a bit too close to the helmet of the tallest statue.

Very pretty tree. One thing I think would make it better would be a softer focus. The leaves look so sharp that there's not any one thing to draw the eye - like the trunk or a squirrel.

I think either more cropping or a color-correction levels adjustment would help. The orange glow at the bottom is distracting when the top is so vibrant and true.

Makes me dizzy! Neat angle and subject. The crop to me seems just a bit too off center when it wants so badly to be perfectly symmetrical.

Nice DOF and angle, but even the sweet spot seems a little blurry to me.

Would have been nice to get a shot without the tree top in the left corner. Nice lines and beautiful sky though.

Beautiful! Looks like a kaleidoscope picture. Did you know, though, that photos of the Eiffel Tower at night have to be authorized to be sold? Its nighttime presentation is copyrighted. I know you're not selling it here, so you're safe - just an interesting tidbit I learned recently. ;)

The composition of this bothers me a bit. I think it would be better to crop out the very bottom so that we started with stairs instead of the blurry rail in the foreground.

Wow - that is dedication. Nice bird's eye view, even if it is a little busy.

Very clean lines and colors. I like the perfect parallel made by the sign and building.

Nice angle, but no one part of the image really stands out to me. Maybe a little post processing with curves or highlight/shadows adjustments would make it pop more with contrast and brightness.

Kind of mundane, and the use of straight on flash is too obvious. Cool kitchen though!

Would have been nice to see a little more of the building, and to have it leveled more. If you use the measuring tool (hold down the eyedropper in Photoshop) you can draw a straight line across the base, then straighten it using the arbitrary setting for rotate (the angle is automatically calculated for you).

Beautiful multi-colored bark. I love the way it turned out. Very spooky feeling.

Nice monotone feel. The crop on the left is a bit abrupt - I think just a little more or less would please the eye better.

Interesting, but very busy and hard to look at any focal point. I knew what it was though on first glance. :)
