They're all good man! I really liked the sunset picture, really nice colours in that one. Also the B&W pictures were great too!

I really like the seagull and the park one. They are super simple and clean, they create a good mood. And the skate pics look good too.

Good stuff!
The gull is really nice and simple, but looks a little oversharpened to me.
The moonlit exposure is cool because of the cool tones (different than most pics), but I would have focused it much further away, probably focusing on the next handrail. If you used a big aperture, you could grind out some cool bokeh from the lights further away (if you got the lens for it) The concept is cool, but there's really nothing going on in the foreground.
The sunset is just beautiful, no comments on that. Love the deep rich colors and big contrast.
The boston pic is cool. I really like architecture shots. In B&W they're often really cool because the luminance of the different panels used in buildings makes for a neat pic most of the time (like in this case). Given that you would have known beforehand you were going to make it B&W, you should have underexposed a little (you always should imo; recovering highlights is hard or impossible, whereas recovering darker tones is much easier). It's a real shame the church tower in the left side is blown out. I don't know if you shoot RAW, but you should. Underexpose a pic like this next time; it'll prevent from blowing out the highlights.
The picture of the mub tower is nice. I like the magenta tint. Also, the lighting is nice. I'm glad you refrained from adding a vignette. That would've made it extremely instagrammy (aka shit).
The bee is cool. I like how it's separated from the background by the thin dof.
Great job on the Ptex shot. I don't know how you got it so sharp. Nice!
The others are ok, but nothing special. Oh and the street lamp: it fucking blows. Remove it. It isn't nearly as nice as any of your other shots.
I don't know how long you've been shooting, but you're doing really well. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the criticism and compliments. Yes the lamp picutre is one of my older ones. I see what your saying about the black and white photos, and I believe those were shot as jpegs although now I have started shooting raw. (the sunset, gull, moonlight, mub tower were all shot in raw) I appreciate all the comments on my photos..I'm rating you a 10.

I was impressed with the composition of many of your photos. Great use of rule of thirds, lines, patterns etc.

The one of the tower with the interesting sunset colours was sick but I would have liked to see more of the building.

Also "portsmouth north church" is quite nice ,and just some tips: start shooting raw (I noticed the dpi is only 72 on your pictures), and add your photos to multiple groups to get some more views and favourites.

Multiple groups? What is that?

As far as DPI goes, I would stick to somewhere between 200-300. Maybe that's why the gull seemed oversharpened to me (low DPI).
All times are Eastern (-5)
