1. Not really my sort of thing. It's too abstract and blurred to have much of a meaning for me.
2. Very beautiful. I like how well ballanced the picture is and the dark edges really draw attention to the whispy clouds.
3. This one is a touch plain. A close up of the person would have been better or even just cropping out some of those wooden planks. There again, I quite like the shadow of the thorny branch. Maybe try and draw attention towards that? I didn't notice it until my second look.
4. The angle is great and the black and white of the buildings in contrast to the faint blue of the sky is nice but there isn't really much to look at.
Green means go: i actually liked this one, stopping the path of light. and the reflection on the street.
Silvery whisps: this is a pretty picture, but i found it common.
After the morning: i really like this, the play of shadows are beautiful. i really like the shadow of the tree behind the subject. awesome picture
Shoes like birds: the angle the picture is taken from is eye catching. but i honestly coudnt find anything eye catching. the shoes are a different aspect
you are very good with a camera. keep taking pictures.
1. I hesitate to classify this "coffee book fare", but it seems like you almost tried too hard. It is very nice though, the reflection, and the contrast of the green is beautiful...
2. The colors are pretty, and the whole shot is bookended by the sillouettes of those two trees, and so it all comes together well...
3. This almost seems to cluttered, with what looks like a grill on the left and a trash can on the right. But the mysterious bhudda in the center refocuses you attention, and there is an interesting sense of humidity here.
4. A fine idea, sillouettes often look nice. Fascinating to see the reflections in the windows as well. However, the shoes, which are your focus, aren't noticable enough. Might make sense to crop this, or (if you can) go back and take this again, but from a closer perspective. Keep the windows though!
Great work, I'd love to see more.

I think all of these are great. The "Green Means Go" one is interesting, but I wouldn't have known what it was if you had a different title. "Au Revoir (Silver Wisps)" is what really jumped out at me. The color is so full. That's my favorite. "After the Morning" is pretty. I like the angle. "Shoes Like Birds in Autumn" is very unique. The angle and material is so neat. Where'd you go to get that picture?
And they all have a very polished quality. Very nice pictures!

1. It might seem abstract but when you think of it, it's just another blurred picture due to the shaking hands of someone holding the camera. With great abscract comes great effort. It's either that or a bizzare object of nature in the form of an absctrac art.. Like an emerald with a distorted monkey looking face or something.
2. Ooo lala~ I love the way how the sun peaks out and paints bottom of the sky in layers
I liked the "Au Revoir (Silver Wisps)" :The clouds just amazing.And I go crazy about them.
"After The Morning..." :I find some sought of clamness in this picture.
Well done!

I really liked the first one. The brigt colours and the bluriness made it look really cool.
I wasn't so keen on the second one, but that's just my personal taste. I'm not into that hole beachy thing. But a good photo anyway.
I like the green bit of the third one, but the verandah and the person kind of ruined it for me.
I didn't like the fourth one, but again personal taste. The colours and clouds made it seem very bleak and it's kind of boring to me.
Overall good photos.

#1: was that really you trying to shoot the road in a hazy way or did your camera shake?
In any case, I like your idea of not discarding the pic but using it as an abstract pic.
#2 Very calm and makes me want to listen to Japanese flutes for some reason.
#3 Nice subject, once again very peaceful but maybe you should adjust (i.e if you photoshop your pics, cuz I never do) the brightness to get it clearer.
#4. A little too complex but hilarious. May i know the history behind such a scene. Interesting subject but not that grand an angle. The lighting too seems a little awkward.

Green Means Go: This reminds me of my journey home everyday, the lamppost to the left is a bit distracting other than that the lights seems to take shape in my eyes or I’m seeing things =]
Au Revoir (Silver Wisps): I love the colours in this one, sorry I always bring up colour too much, and the best part is the dark foreground against the background.
After The Morning: The Buddha, or whatever it is, looked like a person at first, though it’s quite plain I liked the colour contrast: brown switching to green.
Shoes Like Birds In Autumn: This is my favourite one, even though there are only three main colours, the shoes really do look like birds and what a great angle—I’m not brave enough to try anything new.
Wow. You've got a touch of talent for photography! ^_^ I liked the first and third pictures, but the second and last ones were my absolute favorite. The second one's beautiful, and the last was taken at an amazing angle. ^_^ Beautifully done!

One word: Whoa. You seem to be a really good photographer. I wish I was this good. XD
Green Means Go:
My favorite part of it would have to be that you can still see the road pretty clearly and then all these random lights are all over it.
Au Revoir (Silver Wisps):
Is that the sun rising or setting? Whichever it is, it's beautiful. I think you really captured nature in this. The only thing I don't really like is the bushes in the way of the lake but it's still really good. ^^
After The Morning...:
I love this one. The shadow on the deck is gorgeous. But it didn't really catch my attention like the first.
Shoes Like Birds In Autumn:
The angle is perfect on this one. The shows hanging off the wires are pretty awesome. In this picture I think you gave us suburbians a glimpse of a kind of city life.
