    3 shots

    So now, armed with a few different lenses, I find myself riding my bike for errands and such

    The first, is more of a statement.. ironic? I felt shooting at a angle, and adding a pinch emphasized it.

    the other 2 are just shots I thought turned out good.

    I really like the composition of the stumps one, but i feel that it would be a little stronger if you had gotten a lower angle... although certain situations make that impossible.

    as for the last one... its very straight forward and I think such a tight crop makes it a little weaker.

    overall though, I really like the PP work.

    Those are all nice shots (and great color work) of ugly subjests. I really like your crops and composition.

    I think I like the stumps the best, the stop sigh is a little too processed for me and would crop a little off the right of the building to get rid of the trucks sign and the telephone pole.

    The stop sign is not for me, I liked the old industrial building the colors. The old pilings I'm wanting to see more of the bank, but maybe not.

    Arrow Edit of 2nd pic O.k?

    I saw your sig "feel free to edit my photos" so I hope you don't mind I edited the second shot... The first one is quite interesting, a cross-processed feel but I'm afraid the pinch makes gives the viewer a sort of "drunk" sensation. The third shot has a nice composition although the power lines are a tad distracting. The second shot is the winner. Amazing composition and nice inclusion of the shoreline. The only thing I saw the could make it better is a warming filter and some contrast:

    edit: on second thought I liked the original... The poles look more natural. (Picture removed).

    I prefer the second shot the way it was.
    It really struck me as I scrolled down.
    The edit of it just doesn't have the same effect.
