I love the sea and sky in this photo. The detail is amazing all the way back to the mountains on the horizon. The silhouetted figures really work against this setting. Makes me want to go on holiday : )

This is a great moment you have captured that gives an insight into the farming life in this part of India. It has a timeless feel to it helped by the black and white conversion - great tones across the whole image. Well done. My only suggestion would be to caption the place so viewers know exactly where it was taken.

Quite a striking picture you've made of your sister with your phone. It has all the elements of a successful photo, strong composition, great colours and strong depth of field bringing the focus onto your sister. I hope you keep taking photos, this shows you can make very successful images with your phone so keep going!

Great street portrait. I love the fact you have engaged with this gentleman and got a positive result, he looks happy about having his photo taken. The skin tones look fine and I like the desaturated feel and look to the image.

I love the back and white gritty grainy feel to this shot. Reminiscent of some great Japanese street photographers...The contrast of the bright night lights is great as is the scene you've caught, a glimpse into the nightlife in Hong Kong.

Great self timed portrait of you all! I think the framing and composition is ok, perhaps it could be a little wider to show more of the scene you are sitting in but overall it works well. I like the shallow focus foreground that leads you in.

I like the night scene going on behind your friend. He's a little dark and I think the whole photo could be lifted slightly. You could do this in post by adjusting the levels and shadows. Or when you shoot open up to 3.5 on your lens and increase the ISO some more. Its a good composition and shot - is that mag still going?! (thrasher)
