Using PS tools sometimes ruin a good photo work, but I think you used them in the right way here. The flowers in the globe make a good contrast against the clock in the background color-scheme-wise. I wish it created a good DOF too, though. Well, I have no idea how one could achieve such an effect in this context. Good work!

I like your color scheme. Simple and very peaceful. And the compo is very original too. I think you might want some sharp images in the picture though. If you made the grey frame in the background with sharp borders, the feather stands out more as a focus point, creating motion to the picture. Good work!

This one reminds me of Amida Buddha figures. They have many arms too, just like the ones shown in your photo, and they symbolize helping hands (=love for others). Good work.

I like simple compositions. This shot successfully creates vast space by effectively utilizing the different sizes of bubbles. Good work!

I like the contrast of the fore/background very much. It creates a good DOF. I wish the strawberries had more light on though, especially on the right one. I like food photos. Keep posting!

This looks gorgeous! It reminds me of a similar one found at Japanese medieval castles. I wonder how old this door would be. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, a romantic shot. I like the compo and the color of the sky, which creates a warm atmosphere. Crows in general don't have romantic images, but the silhouette here helps create a nice picture. Thanks for sharing.

I like simple compositions. This piece, by utilizing light/shadow contrast, finds an interesting expression. The number on the right works fine to me too. If it were on the other side, the whole picture would have given a different impression. I like this way better. It creates a peaceful atmosphere. By the way, the "7" looks inscribed to me somehow, but it is painted, right?

We are often times used to seeing musicians under pin spots, which inevitably create strong light/shadow contrasts. This shot, however, utilizes natural light and shows more ordinary aspect of a musician. Good work.

Yup, he's a cool cat. I've known him in Metheny's trio.

I like the color scheme in this shot. The green/brown/black coordination creates a peaceful tone, which helps present the focus point very clearly. The blurred borders enhance the DOF too. Well done!
