My favorite is navy pier....That is a very good photo, and should be recognized as such by anyone who sees it (just like the rest of these.) Wonderful photos...keep it up.
I open my mouth to sing, and you can see right through me.
I open my eyes to see, And I’m invisible
I look around me to take in my surroundings
And I disappear - And then the words begin...
The ferris wheel is cool. Of all your photos, it's the sharpest. I don't like your eye picture though because it's too blurry/out of focus. 2, 3, and 7 are blurry or out of focus.
All have pretty good compositions though except for 3 and 7 which I wouldn't know what the heck they were unless you told me. You need something of refrence in those to you can get a good sense of scale to them. Otherwise, they're pretty abstract without that.
I don't know much about photography so I won't make much of a critic, I can tell you, however, that my favourite picture was the one of the pier - it seemed clearer than the others and there was just *something* about it.
I also loved the picture of the eye, simple but unusual and something that i'm immensly fascinated by. Good work.
The only other thing i'd say about the photos is that the one of the candles arn't very clear in that if you hadn't have said that it was a star then I wouldn't have known. It was a very good picture regardless.
These are really nice. I think you'll do great with the book. Each of these pictures made me look long and hard they were really interesting and caught my attention.
Best wishes,

I love, love.

I don't know too much about photography -- I'm really just in the beginning stages of dabbling myself -- but wow... *applauds.* My favorite would definitely have to be the first. The composition is gorgeous. I'm seriously jealous of your skills... *le sigh*
Your photos are quite nice, and you definitely have an eye.
#1: I LOVE it. It has an old-fashioned feel, and the spokes of the ferris wheel draw your eye to the center.
#2. Eh. Not so much. It's too blurry and I'm struggling to see the detail.
#3. It's hard to tell what it is. The one thing I like about it is that it looks like an old photo from the 19th century.
#4. It's ok. I don't like the fact that the flag seems to be taking up too much space.
#5. I like it. However, the horizon's tilted, there's some dust specks, and yes, it is pretty dark.
#6. Nice. The wooden beam across the picture gives a feel of imprisonment and restriction.
#7. Pretty good. I'm not very fond of using the flash; it makes it looks like a snapshot for a newspaper. I'm also a little bugged by the fact that a little part of the star is missing/perportioned wrong.
#8. OK, but it doesn't mean anything to me.
Nice work! Keep taking pictures to your heart's content!
These are all really good. I was into photography for a while, and I know what you mean by prefering b/w, theres just something so classic about it.
The first one was really good, I love the angle and how parts of the wheel are cut off. It's very pretty. 5 was also pretty good, but the little things took away from it. Do you sill have the negatives for it? You can always re-develop that one.
Good job!
