Once again, work on the post processing to make the colors and contrast more vibrant. I'd also crop out or clone out the little lady in the white shirt on the left edge of the picture. She's already cut in half, so go ahead and remove her completely. I think pekesty also made a good suggestion about the sky.

This shot looks really flat to me. As Lori said below, I think you need to work on bumping up the saturation and contrast on this picture to begin with. I would also suggest using Unsharp Mask as well. I think the composition is fine, just the post processing that needs to be improved.

Nice photograph of the riverwalk. Don't be afraid to crop sky out of your photos when they are drab and uniteresting. Cropping just above the white building still leaves you with a good composition and eliminates the big parking garage from the photo. Your photo is very interesting and I think such a cropping would reinforce. Welcome to the site!

Hi- You picture is nice. Soft focused but it gives it a nice velvet feel and in this case works ok for me. The background is nicely broken but the dark against the greens are a bit distracting. You might want to blur the BG a little more but that just a personal preference. As posted below, I agree, a boost in saturation would help and I also like the composition. All over good shot.

Echo the other two, increase contrast, saturation and sharpen. Again I wish I was there LOL. Great shots and composition.

Again, increase the contrast and saturation, sharpen a bit and it will look great. You may have a bit of sensor dust (the dot in the middle of the frame?) Wish I was there!

Pretty, I love pink. Maybe increase the contrast a bit and maybe the saturation which will make the colors pop a bit more and sharpen (USM). Love the composition/crop
