A 14 second exposure for the Aurora borealis in Nebraska! I had no idea a long exposure like this would not have over-exposed the stars or even the lighting in the sky. Simply incredible photo.

The lighting in this photo is remarkable. The water could definitely be the subject of the photo, because of the reflection from sky. The vivid tones and unique colors make for an incredible shot.

Besides the really good symmetry and lighting, I really like the emotions on the ghosts's faces. It adds a whole new dimension to the photo, and although it's fairly random I like the idea a lot.

I feel I could DEFINITELY make this a part of my concentration. The bokeh with words that people could be feeling or saying could be an awesome idea. Very short and to the point which I like.

I think the composition is really good, with the background being just the brick street. There's a lot of emotion with the child's face that I like, it implies a lot of simplistic thinking. Just him and the ball.

I wish I could go back to Hawaii to take more photos.. the color of the water is something you can't see anywhere else. I like the position of the rocks in this shot, but I love the water and how clear and clean it looks.

This is a photo I took at my stepbrother's wedding. The clear sky and simplicity of the composition make the seemingly small object very intriguing. I used the clouds and surrounding trees to frame the subject, making for a very interesting shot in my opinion.
