    2, 5 and 8 are especially good. I just wish 5 was closer maybe with the same angle?

    Very happy to see pictures of the people/what they're doing and not just the buildings :)

    In your flickr set I like the one of bridge in central park. Also the one of the slanted wall.

    I miss New York, I only went there once but I was so sad coming home :(

    I don't think they are C&C material... take a step back, take two steps to your right, put the rock on the bottom third, your horizon is crooked, I need to see more detail in the shadows blah, blah, blah

    They are what they are... simple, imperfect, go with flow type photos.

    I don't feel what has been presented (here on boards.ie) really fits as a set but I'm liking the second, the fifth and the last.

    I'm new to this, what exactly is C&C material?

    Not being smart, just don't understand your post :confused:

    For me C&C means "Command & Conquer" -

    Its basically when you want to get your photographic skills so good that you can Command & Conquer the photography world with your skills and rant and rave on photography forums about not giving away your photos for free.

    For others it means "Comment & Critique" -

    It's where other people view your photos and tear the arse out of them in the hope that a verbal slap in the face will make you realize that you're not very good and subsequently will strive to get better.

    All but the last one look like snapshots to be honest. The last one is pretty good though. You need to pay more attention to basic framing, rule of thirds and choice of subject. Most of them seem a little aimless, as if you saw something kind of interesting, snapped a quick photo and left immediately...as if you were a tourist in New York...


    The last one is fairly well framed (top left isn't quite ideal), but there is a clear subject (your man in the middle, and we can see him clearly), he's positioned properly, and the railings make a nice framing device. I'd have gone a little closer and lower maybe, but you're on the right track. Do more like that.
