Criticism / Comments Definitely Welcome, I've Still Got A Lot To Learn. Still Getting Used To The Camera.

Great stuff! A few suggestions:
1. Great shot! The floor could be exposed a little bit better, of course this would be difficult to do without blowing out the sky.. perhaps lighten it up a bit in photoshop? also, see how the doors are curved a little bit? This is probably because you were shooting at 18mm. BUT, I do think it works for this image! if you wanted to vertically correct it or any other image where there is lens distortion, you can fix that in photoshop too.

2. Awesome! The exposure is good! my only suggestion is to add a little bit more contrast to the walls.

3. Nice depth of field! Perhaps lighten it a little bit?

4. Great!

5. Perhaps just lighten up the shadows a little bit? Other then that, another great shot!

I like detail shots, such as the knob and light fixture.

#1 - This is my fav. Although the sky could do with being a bit darker. Play with "Selective Color" and maybe a slight hue adjustment in Photoshop.
#2 - This is also really good! At first I thought it was an HDR, but then I saw that you were using a polaroid, so I guess that's all it is?
#3 - I like this, but a more interesting angle and some DoF would have made it a lot more interesting.
#4 - Not that there is anything you could have done about it, but I don't like the unbalanced lighting. It feels lop-sided. But maybe that's just me.
#5 - Awesome subject! Its a good shot, but again a more interesting angle (perhaps getting closer, if your lens allows) and maybe a bit more DoF would have helped.

OK, I'm being pretty critical, but I really like the set a lot overall! The subject is awesome, and the photos aren't bad at all! I think the set is greater than the sum of the shots, if that makes any sense. Keep these photos displayed together.

The shots are really great, especially 3 and 5. My only critique is that you should try playing with making them a little lighter. I think a lot of lovely detail was lost in the darkness of shots 2 and 4. Otherwise great though!
