I love picture 7. Thats about all I can say as far as critiquing goes, I am no professional photographer.

I agree there is something about number 7 that stands out, excellent shot, I love the way the shower walls are collapsing and the detail in the tile

I'd acctually say that no. 9 stands out the mose. Nice colours and DOF.

All very good! That's why I'll just say which ones I find least good:
3) What's the focal point of the pic? What's it about?
4) Effect has no added value.
6) Much less powerful than 7.
Good work overall.

I know what you mean about number 3 lacking a real focal point.
With that shot the Locker number was the main point of interest - The number happened to be the year when shot was taken (late december 2005.) I guess it was supposed to reflect the numbers of workers / the passage of time. Any thoughts on improving this would be great.

When you mention the effect in 4 do you mean the angle?

I like number 8 the most personally. It looks like a painting almost.

I agree that number 8 has a very painterly quality, but it's just not as striking as some of the others. I think the depth of field has something to do with it.
