i think the first one has a little dead space on the right side, it looks like your going for a dramatic shot but there's just not enough tension in it, try taking it from further back, i always find that if i'm going for a high contrast shot like that i like the dark spots to be pitch black (you did a nice job on the second one). i like the water ones too

So you want the shot to be darker? Drop the exposure by a bit? I have cropped it tho, so I'll in crop it and cheat a bit to make it better, when I ge back to my comp I'll try that. Thanks again.

i really like the first one, minus what the other dude said, there is a bit of dead space on the right that could have been cropped. but i like the colors.

Not really good at critique photos because I'm not photography expert, but I like the 1st of each personally just more artsy and looks better.

im also not a critique but on the 1st one it did look like there was a dead spot going on the right side. but the rest where really nice. really like on the secound one how it really showed the long path ahead with the row of lights. good job for sure

I can see what u guys are saying, thanks. could someone take it, crop it the way they like it and post it? that would be helpful to see what ur thinking.

this is what i cropped it down 2.

And for the 2nd shot, really think that big tree closes in the atmosphere, but the 3 ligts drag it on, and i think thats just really cool.

your second attempt at cropping the first photo looks significantly better, good job.  I like the black and white contrast on the second picture, keep shooting!

i think they're all good shots. i really really like the colored ones. i think the pictures do more justice when they have color to them but they're still sick in black and white. good work!
