| | | | Sick use of wide angle, contrast in the last photo is awesome.

| | | | #1: If you can, photoshop the "H" off of that Hanjin container on the left side. It's totally bright and distracting from the rest of the shot. Other than that, I really like the angle. Very cool.
#2: I don't know the quality setting of the pictures you were taking, but if you have a decent copy of this, I'd crop off the wall half and focus more on the work yard with a vertical shape... (yes, my vocabulary is failing me terribly at the moment, but it's morning and I'm tired). Anyhow, the wall is in focus, it looks like the work yard in the foreground is in focus, but the wall is dominating this shot and you don't need it. It's not adding anything to it.
#3: If you're attempting what I think you are attempting with this shot (trying to make the building look huge and in-your-face), then you should crop off the excess parking lot bits (to where the building base starts on the edge of the photo) and crop off more of the sky. If you weren't going for that, maybe consider it- it'd make the photo more powerful.
#4: I really, really like how railroad is diagonally slashing through the picture, making the inactive yard and active yard more pronounced in their differences. You might want to crop a little off the bottom and the left side, just to clean up the excess a bit.

| | | | I love how the cityscape sparkles, especially in 04. Your use of contrast is very nice. Good job.

| | | | These are great Mr Hawkins, the mill is definitely it's most photogenic between dusk and the evening with the high intensity lights from the port.

| | | | Thank you all for your comments! This is one of my favorite locations. I hope my photos continue to improve so that I can do some of these sites justice.

| | | | 1 and 3 are definitely my favorites but they are all pretty amazing, in 4 the lights all kind of wash everything in the top right half,i almost wouldn't mind seeing it a touch darker there, but its also kind of cool the way the difference in brightness slices the photo at a diagonal too. Keep up the good work!

| | | | 1 is awesome
2 the composition doesn't do much for me
3 i like a lot...nice job getting good even lighting
4 - Not bad, but lacks a strong subject.
All three need noise reduction badly. Nice job!

| | | | Thanks for the comments. I am planning on getting Noise Ninja when my tax return comes in. I think I will give it a try on these shots. Also I am going to work on balancing the brightness levels out on #4. Wish me luck!

| | | | A lower ISO will get rid of that noise, I used to take night shots at a high ISO before I knew better and all my shots had that noise.
