    Good angle!
    I'd try to darken the highlights some.
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: The Alamo

    It is a nice subject, though I am not 100% sold on the angle like Frog is. That tree on the left intrudes a bit, and the wall is also too dominating for me.

    Technically, I think it should be sharper, and the ground is not level. You can fix these two issues in post processing w/o too much trouble.

    I like the colors here - they work to warm it up. I also like how there's nobody around, which gives it a slightly eerie feeling.

    I think the unlevel ground may be a good compromise. If you fix the horizon line, that wall on the left would really start leaning into the picture and becoming WAY overbearing. If this were mine, I'd crop out the lens flare (purple) on the right, that chunk of podium or whatever it is on the bottom, and might even go so far as to eradicate the Marriot in the background (digital demolition hehe )

    Re: The Alamo

    I thought it was a tree like GB did....very bark like texture.
    Anyway you did good with the first.
    It leans left just a bit and you might want to get rid of those blue lights on the right though I don't find them too distracting.
    Keep Shooting!
