My critique (since we're all giving them now)
1. White balance is off a tad. Cool it down a bit.
2. The only thing that bugs me is the bar blocking part of the wheel/tire. Other than that, it's a cool angle and sharp image.
3. (sonic yeld?) Does nothing for me. Looks flat as well.
4. Very cool life scene, I think the highlights add to the photo.

if you don't wanna be critiqued, just say so...simple as that, but you're gonna have to learn how to take criticism one day or another or you're not gonna learn anything
Chill out.

sure why not? But I do realize I should've stepped down the fstop a bit more bottom focus is off. But I was shooting around the backyard today for fun and didnt think I would use any photos.

all i was gonna say that its just about a stop over exposed...the highlights are blown out...would be nice to see the texture in there...

rule of thirds isn't really broken either

and the out of focus branch kind of breaks the lines that guide your eye through the image...would be much better without the branch there

thats the first thing they teach you in PS class. I remember our class did a levitation one. Standing on a stool in one shot and removing the stool in the other and combined the two.

I'm sorry but I couldn't help but respond to this and I don't want to get involved in any sort of _____fest.
As someone who is critiquing photos, the last response they want to hear from that person is this one. Your last few responses have been completely immature.
I've lightly skimmed through and read your critiques and some I wouldn't call critiques at all. A lot of them sound like flat out criticisms. Not everyone here is trying to achieve the same look as you do with your photos. If they did, there would be no individualistic expressions in photography. Photography is an art and everyone will have their niches.
Either
a) you have an ego the size of montana and "think" you're top photographer
or
b) you actually have some credible work.

Either way, post up some of your shots, lets see what you've got. Again I'm not trying to start anything here but I've ran into a few egotistical so called "professional photographers" in my day with nothing to show for it. It's the worst kind.
