"untitled", Eruditass (2011 USA-MD city)
This two dimensional scene of a building side has some interesting variety, but lacks any emotional reaction. The textures, swirly patterns, bare spots, and vertical color gradient keep some attention and do show some beauty that you may walk by every day. The window appears relatively small and misaligned, which may add some tension.

The moire of the screen is a little distracting. The detail of the scene could have been brought out some more, perhaps if the sun was more to the side. Especially since there is no front to back depth, it relies on the texture detail and composition. The layout of the bare spots are not the most interesting, and I'd like to see more of the wall.

A more three dimensional scene that is captured in a somewhat flat perspective. In the same vein as the previous photo, its intent is bring light to the parts of the city that we pass every day.

I enjoy this composition much more for its use of lines that separate the distinctly different textures. The lines all seem to flow out of the upper right, and move across the image in different directions. The mix of street light temperatures adds some pleasing colors in the shadows.
A larger aperture would make the sharpness more even added to the flat projection of the scene.

"untitled", Eruditass (2010 USA-TX city))
An low perspective view of the Houston airport. The angle is compelling, as the giant void towers over the miniscule people, waiting to suck them up. For reference, a more standard view of the scene can be found here.

The perspective and choice of lens in this photograph make this a unique view. Waiting for the people to clear the column and let in a shaft of light on the walkway was a good choice, but the processing leaves something to be desired.
The center of the photo is so bright that the eye is just stuck there. Maybe it ventures off to the bright windows, but that's it. The rest of the image does not have enough local contrast to entice the viewer. It's more or less the same shade of sepia. The people at the bottom are compelling, but lost in the shadows. The less interesting top left part of the photograph takes up more than desired.
Some burning of the main ceiling or brightening of the rest of the image would really help. Adding some contrast to the bottom corner of the image, especially the reflections on the walkway would be well advised.

Shoes that flew a little too close to power lines. This photograph creates a bit more of a narrative than the others in this set, with its dangling shoes, wind, and red stain beneath them.
See more.
I like the subject. And the timing of the wind and an cloud. It lets us play a bit of "what does this cloud look like?" Between a fish or a whale, or a star trek ship, it's a tad unfortunate our imagination cannot tie it to the rest of the photograph, no matter how hard we try.
The non-shoe'd powerlines, while probably necessary in the shot, do nothing for me. The orange editing is distracting and too saturated, but could've been nicely complimented with a slight orange gradient.

Now here's a shot that has potential (that was an electric joke). There is some nice repetition, geometry, and some rustic brown peeking through. It's another mundane part of our lives that we pass everyday.
See more.
It's high contrast and dark blacks creates a graphic feel, whether it's fitting or not (though the oversharpening is certainly not). The sky is rather uninteresting and detracts from the form. The power lines in the lower left are also bothersome. And despite being horizon corrected, the composition makes it feel that it is leaning to the right.
