I really like that first shot.
That second shot reminds me of Jackson Square.

Dan,
A nice post but your photos seem to suffer from the 'Bulls-eye Effect' i.e. all of your subjects are centered. Investigate the 'Rule of Thirds' and try that when composing your photos.
The flower and the church in Jackson Square look fine centered, but the tree, the lamp post, the bench, and the gull would benefit from being off center. Try cropping the gull photo about where the top of the bridge ends, you don't need that much blank sky. I don't know what the original looks like but a little more room on the left for the bird to fly into would help as well. The Cypress tree is straight, but the horizon is crooked, hmmm.
These are just my suggestions.
Post more soon, I love Nawlins!
Eric

My favorite is the Cypress tree. I love odd shaped trees or trees that are standing by themselves. That would be a tree I would want to paint. Good work.

Two more nice photos Dan, but they both appear to lean to the left. Perhaps a hot shoe bubble level would be of some help?

Try to tighten up the gull and boost it a little.

Trees are such wonderful objects to capture! Never been to New Orleans but feel like I saw a piece of it this morning. Thanks for the early morning trip!!

I like the shots but your composition is off, every subject is centered... You should really go get a book on the "rule of 3rd's" as this is your biggest issue. Everyone else seems to like them, but maybe they need to go get the book too?
Not trying to sound like an A$$ but the truth is "when your subjects are centered in each and every photograph you take, they tend to look like bla. It's okay to have some subjects centered, but all? No! Seeing these photographs never even took me there, it was more like a (oh).
As they are, they just look like a picture to throw in the photo album and toss to the side to never be seen by others.
Good luck and happy shooting...
