Its difficult to critique multiple photos as each has its strenths and weaknesses.
Many of us won't open a link to fish around trying to figure out which ones to critique.
You have 30 photos and we don't know which you want critiqued.
Post your photo here and you'll get more response.

Ohhh ok thanks for the tip ill do that

I like the composition, however, I think the skateboard is lost.
Since it is the subject, it should stand out and here it looks camouflaged.
I'm not expert enough,(or at all), to know if there is something you can do in photoshop to help it stand out or not.

I didn't even notice the skateboard until Frog pointed it out.
But I do like the great contrast between light and dark areas.

Polishgonewild,

Welcome to the site. I see some good things in your shot here, but I don't think it works overall. The composition doesn't explain what you're trying to show in the image - scateboard, circular thing, light and shadow, city scene? The railing blocks the buildings and I think that they would have been nice to see. The circular thingie is also too centered.

On the plus side, the contrast between light and dark areas is pretty neat and the image is sharp. It also has an edgy feel to it, like city life is beckoning, and a tad of danger, as you feel like there's potential to fall off the side of the dock ( but that's what the railing is for, eh? ).

Anyway, hope to see more shots. I agree with Frog btw: one shot in a posting works best.

I'll add my welcome also!

I like the full spectrum of light and dark and the clarity and the scene overall. And I did come to understand your title when I figured out there was a skateboard there, but I had to work too hard to figure out. If you could figure a way to recompose the skateboard, your story would be more obvious.

Well thats not the title of the pic, it was a series of pics i posted a link to earlier they all have the skateboard in it but then i decided to just put one up.

Overall, having looked at the whole series I like this shot except for the fact that the top tube of the right side railing throws too much shadow on the top part of the skateboard. I think you could also use depth of field to emphasize the subject more effectively. Open the aperture by adjusting the f/ stop to the lowest number you can, and it will draw attention away from the buildings in the far background and toward your subject.

Would you mind reposting your link to the series?
