not bad, although I was pumped when I read long exposures. I was thinking a few seconds. Did you step up the aperture all the way? Look into getting a Neutral Density +4 filter. I did some pictures with that on, and at night time, I was doing 8 minute exposures of lake, and it look really badass. The first bench Im not a fan of. The closes part to us is out of focus, I feel like it would have been stronger if the first part was in focus, and then fell off. As for the second one I like the framing, other then it looks like you cut off the top corner of the bench. The bridge and tower is nice, I like the silouette form, however it doesnt seem very straight. That last one I like it. I think its the patterns I like. Overall nice job. Oh, check your white balance on the water ones, they look a bit too blue.

thanks!

a few things: my white balance was off on the watershots- they were a lot bluer before but i did some photoshopping to try to get rid of some of the blue...

i also did some longer exposure ones and the water seemed too soft if that makes sense. i like how there is still some of the texture in the water. i can upload one of those longer exposure ones later (about to go to the gym) for comparison.

and yea i should crop that first bridge shot to be more straight.
