| | | | The second one doesn't do anything for me, but the other two are great! Only thing I can say is maybe a bit more detail in the gravel in the first shot.

| | | | I like the second one, but I wish the sticker could be parallel with the border. The slight angle bothers me.
The last one, I think there is too much background. The top half of the photo adds very little. I am not sure how you would fix it though, cropping it would make for a very wide and short photo.
Keep shooting man, you produce good stuff.

| | | | Im liking the first shot(do it in B&W!! jk ). The gravel on the right is a wee bit overexplosed, may be helped with some filter in b&w or a different aperture. I cant decide but for the framing I think I would like alittle less foliage on the top, the angle of the shot is excellent though.
2nd one doesnt really do much for me.
Im also liking the third. May want to open the focal range to include whatever that is on the left alittle better(a dental tool?). The out of focus part on the right is kinda distracting from the shot, so framing it without that or perhaps a angle thats alittle higher and to the right.
Definatly liking the first and third.

| | | | Ive never shot IR  . Would the trees be brighter or darker. I think it would be kinda cool to use a green filter b&w and see some big contrast in there and give the shot a different feel. Wouldnt the green also lower the brightness of those white rocks alittle also?

| | | | I like the first and last one. The middle one just doesn't work in that desaturated-digital-file kind of way. Perhaps some more contrast would help.

The leaves on the trees would be white. He can always play with different color "filters" in PS.

center the tracks in the bottom of the shot...one step to the left... like the way it draws the viewer in.. B&W IR would be very cool for this shot.
not that interesting to me...
rule of thirds is good for the box but that out of focus hot spot on the wall is distracting... how about if it were taken from a steeper angle to eliminate the background a bit more... nice shallow depth of field

You see, I'm very selective about my shots! (haha, get it? no? oh well...)

| | | | I really liked #2 as was.. the color on the DC sign is ok.. but the color on the Raiders sticker is really awful in my opinion. I really liked the minimalism of the original completely desaturated #2.
I think #3 is fantastic as is.. perfect depth of field..
The only one I'm not crazy about (lol.. which ironically seems to conflict with all of your other feedback) is #1. The composition itself is great.. but better lighting would bring tons of mood and atmosphere to the shot. To me it looks like the shot was taken late morning or afternoon on a slightly hazy day. I always avoid shooting at this time simply because I hate the natural light at that time of day. Warm early morning or early evening sunlight would bring so much character out of the brick.. IR might be cool too as someone else mentioned..
In any case.. I like the style.. great work.
(This is also my first post.. I'll have more intro and pics of sites maybe later.)

| | | | The first one, with the train tunnel, is now one of my favorites and is my background on my PC at the moment. I'm a HUGE railfan and love shots like that, where the rails lead you into the picture.
Second one is better in color than in B/W.
I like the third one, great focused object.

sorry, I'm used to replying that way for my students. Thought it would be okay so people didn't have to scroll up and down... won't happen again.

| | | | Good stuff. First one feels like it was shot on an overcast day; the colors a bit muted. I agree that if you center the tracks at the bottom, it would be improved, but otherwise, the composition is good. You may want to tip up or down just a bit, to keep the point where the tracks go into shadow out of the center. More trees would be interesting, but seeing more of the tracks would be too... I'm torn on which way to go.
The second is great, I love the desaturated version you posted first. Easily my favorite of the three (but I'm also a sucker for black and white).
The third doesn't feel like there is much you can do to improve it... good depth of field, great composition. It feels a bit grainy, but that seems to work for me.
Good stuff.

| | | | The first has really weird screeny granular pattern. It's got decent composition though. As for the second one, I definitely agree with the others who've said it's flat. It looks definitely digitally desaturated, and the probably neutral tones of the subject matter doesn't really help.
The last I really like. It looks very 80's science textbook-ish.
