Interesting seeing your comments - when I was looking at the thumbnail, the thought I had was "wow, that's framed really nicely" :-)

With the grainy feel of the letters, it might have been nice to see the whole shot in focus - right now I feel like there are so many names there and I'm missing them all. The line on the right is a bit distracting. But as with the other shot, I like the angle.

The angle and the focus give this shot a unique look. It seems like the focus ends very abruptly, which is a little overpowering for me, but overall it really works.

Oh man, I just love stuff like this, with a word on a memorial or part of a statue or engravings on a wall.

I like the crop a lot. The blue at top left is intriguing without being distracting. The only thing I could see to improve is that maybe it would look better if you shot it from a lower angle? But I'm not sure about that, and that is nitpicky anyway.

I would have liked to see colors, and maybe a 3/4 angle on the person instead of strait from the back. But it's really nice overall.

Sherpet's definitely right - the portfolio is VERY worth a look!

A tighter crop would probably have made this more interesting. I like the background because the colors and "short lines" feeling matches the coloring of the cat, but as others have noted, the background is a bit overpowering.

Twist of colour

I like photos that are a bit more abstract, like yours. Great job taking an ordinary object (I am assuming napkin or papertowel) and making it look like art.

I very much like this. Great focus, good use of color (or lack thereof) and attention to detail. I like the half face as that leaves more room for the background, bringing attention to the fact that the background and face are so alike.

As mentioned before, it looks oversharpened - makes it seem like a cardboard cutout to me. But I really like the earthy colors, and composition, except for the tree in the middle of the background "growing" from the stump in the middle. I think that takes away some of the depth, adding to the cardboard cutout look.

Edit:
Forgot to say that if you adjusted the angle so the tree doesn't seem attached to the stump, the stump would probably be at a less flattering angle. If that'd be the case, I think what you have done would be the better choice.
