I was replying to a poster whom was being snooty. Don't know how you could misinterpret that. I think the op did a great job in these photos.

Great job? Come on. The photos are simply random snapshots as it appears, taken on streets. There is no situation depicted, which could make any of the photos interesting to an audience.

The OP wanted to have criticicism, not kind applause for results, which honestly aren't worth presenting. Most of the images are taken from a boring shooting position at eye's height, pointing slightly downwards. Some images have reflections, which disturb the content, and which shows that the OP did not really spend a lot of time before pressing the shutter. The OP should think about being more flexible in its shooting position and more thoughtful about a possible audience, before shooting a scenery. Boring sceneries usually don't make good images, at least when taken like the OP did.

In my image library, none of the images would have been a keeper.
