Good work! Was the bead curtain in the original Donnas source photo? I don't recall it being there.

Welcome to Worth! This is nice work. I have two suggestions, since you asked for them. The first would be to try and match sourcepictures according to sharpness. It looks like you blurred the board you took from the supplied picture, especially in contrast to the other board. Also, there seems to be a colored tint to the second source you used. I would try and match the tint of the other source. This could be as straightforward as creating a new layer with flat solid color and messing with the transparencies and type/am't of blending until you like what you see.

Very clean masking job; adding a couple of well-placed shadows would have further increased the realism. Great Job!

I like the colors too, and your use of perspective.

Great job with the sketch effect. This is a pretty hard trick to pull off successfully but you did it!

Watch out for your masking and cutting; the edges of the towers look a little raggedy. Also, to improve the illusion of reflections in the water, I would suggest skewing the mirrored image slightly and then adding distortion effects to suit your personal taste. This will really fool the viewer into thinking they are looking at an unretouched photo.

Adding the selective blur to the young women's arms helped improve the realism on this one a lot. Good job!

This is good work. I appreciate that the moon is in correct proportion to the surrounding buildings. Welcome to Worth!

This was a cute one. One suggestion is to blur the cat slightly so she isn't so sharply focused in comparison to the far edge of the building she is peeking around. I'd suggest using a mild Gaussian blur of just a few pixels to do this.
