Terrible!!! I can't believe people still wear shirts that terrible 
Jokes aside, this is a good stage shot. Just enough of the face to show that the musician is into it, without taking away from the music in his guitar and hands. The blown out stage light in the background is a distraction thjough, I'd consider burning / cloning it out. Cropping won't work as you lose his hand.

widac ze prawdziwa radosc wcale nie zalezy od kasy. Mozna bylo troche ciasniej wykadrowac tutaj, bardziej zdjecie by bylo skupione na wyrazie twarze i historii na niej wypisanej.

this is better than yesterdays Felipe - same beautiful colors and creamy texture but with the addition of a line for my eyes to follow across the scene. The sharpness fo the fence contrasts it nicely too.

with your eye you have done in one shot what should take many and hours in the darkroom blending them into something that would never be as seamless. even though this is b&w the winter 'grey' gives a bleak perspective on the little worlds we have built in our cities.

I don't mind the flatness of tones here, but they are a little dark overall (even considering the mood here), i'd brighten it up just a little. Otherwise fantastic, there is so much body langhuage beinbg conveyed here by the hand dreaming of a different time and a different place that is not governed by a set of spoked rubber wheels. the stone table top looks almost like perfectly still water - a kind of wishing well in this context. really interesting work.

beautiful in its absolute ugliness - by day an unassuming chemical plant, but by night a dancer twirling in the stagelights. (yes it looks like the smoke plumes are entwined in a dance..). I don't think the frame was at all necessary though.

this tight crop of the ships bow works a lot better than the wider one you uploaded later. I think you may have worked the saturation and contrast a lot here - the end effect is fantastic.

this seems to have been unfairly overlooked... although I think a less centred placing of the lamp's and person's reflections would have given this frame better blance, the stone and watery textures playing across the ground are great.

My eyes follow the stairs down from the top for a nice surprise. Two suggestions - crop a bit tighter on the left of hte stork. Push up the contrast a bit mroe to make it more of a silhouette - atm the white feathers are just on the edge of looking underexposed I think. If you push them down more will give the right effect maybe?

dead, bleak barren. Awesome use of wide angle and high speed film. Really sets the mood. I think you made good use of the rule of thirds for the double horizon too - first is the ground horizon, second the distant forest's treeline. This shot would have great impact in a large format on the wall - I think we lose quite a bit of detail here...

Great tones and nice tight crop to give us something different that the 'beautiful old windmill in classic landscape' shot. Always good to see someone thinking outside the square.
BTw this seems very square on, but obviously is at some height - any perspective correction here?

Love it how the soft light streaming through the window ahs the same feel that the candles lit would give - soft and subtle. The repeating color pattern and the way the candles come in and out of the shadows really works the mood here. I would consider burning the strip of white fabric top centre - it's distracting.

The blend is not that visible, but something in the change of scale / perspective across the join is noticable. Would I have known without you telling me? Possibly not, but something looks a little out of place.

The softness and high key light makes her already captivating eyes stand out all the more - with the left just peering out of the darkness.I'm not sure if you sshould have cropped out the knees or not - on the one hand they are somewhat distracting, but on the other they let the viewer know that she has them tucked up in a vulnerable foetal position - the positioning does look a little akward...

The interplay of different light sources comes out quite interesting here. I would like the ducks to be a little clearer thoughm, other than the whtie one they are indistinct blobs atm. Enough to stop the photo from being a pure abstract with just water and light.
All these night shots explain your late night commenting yesterday! Don't you have to go to work in the morning like the rest of us mortals Felipe?

Looks a bit like a long exposure shot of a highway at night with the orange and pale blue 'light' streaks. I guess the elements edit was to add the curvature to the wood grain? If so too bad it wasn't something natural, however the effect is effective all the same.

its a little soft but looks like that came from scanning fil. Also I think Hugo's suggested crop works better as you don't get the small black triangles distracting the viewer. I would suggest that you try shooting birds from lower down - it's a more intimatte and natural perspective if you can get to the animals eye level.

very fragile and alone. I like the way the darkness isolates the chick, and adds to the tension by making it completely alone in the frame.
