The “Sunny Alley, Bangor” picture I think is my favorite for a lot of reasons. Mostly because it speaks to a lot of my personal feelings and memories. Growing up in Bangor, I have a lot of memories of walking through downtown and this picture invokes a lot of personal thoughts. I enjoy the angle of the photo, because paired with the sun it casts really interesting shadows on the building. It gives me this weird atmosphere of new beginnings and a fresh start. The sun is clearly rising and pushing away the shadows. Overall, great shots!

I believe your photo of the train bridge that focuses on the right side does a lot of things really well. The first being the relatively high shutter speed you used. By using such a high shutter speed, you were able to capture the roughness of the water, which helps develop the tone of the photo. Due to the choppiness of the water, the barren nature of the bridge, and the light combined with strong diagonal shadows, you’ve created a piece that is full of melancholy. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the over exposure of the skyline, but it does help draw attention to the water and slowly decaying trusses. To achieve the same effect, maybe you could try removing some saturation next time? It could help keep clarity while still moving the viewer’s eye to what you want to focus on. I really like how you managed to capture the “sound” of this bridge as well. Nice work!

Content– interesting variety, from striking bridge series, to indoor boutique selfies, to indoor and outdoor architecture, and humorous rock statues (love the shadows of people at base(.
Composition–bridge series is most striking bec subject is simple and abstract and you find some really interesting angles, my fav is tack leading to sunset–with the tracks filling 2/3 of the image.
Technique–attention to detail (door handle) to composition (bridges), to reflections (selfies) and to natural and human patterns make the photos arresting.
Aesthetics–strong mood in bridge series, humor in stone stature, and in selfies, and attention to details in wine cellar photos. interesting debut.
