Calm Dawn
OK Martin I'll give this system a go. Normally I wouldn't bother to vote but perhaps my down vote is worth an explanation and as such maybe that's a positive thing?The wide angle lens and the fact that the camera is tilted downwards means the buildings are leaning badly. That is something I think you should really avoid. I know you want to include the foreground but without a tilt & shift lens you have to be very carefull with buldings and trees etc. The rest is just OK.
Hope I don't have to run for cover now
Cheers, Ian.

studio lighting 'novice'
The lighting is OK, but I think you need to concentrate a little more on composition at the moment. Your subject is too central and the landscape format doesn't suit. Take it in a portrait format and ask your subject to stand at 45 degrees then look at you over her shoulder. Tilt the head to give a bit of shape to the image. That will get you off to a better start. Also try using a single light to the left/right and a reflector to fill in. Look through the site for images you like and try to see how they are done. Hope this helps ...Cheers, Ian.

Early Morning Mist
Too many contrails Simon. You would be better cropping off the top of the image for a panoramic view, thus making it less central. We then get to concentrate on the subtle foreground detail. Try it... 
Cheers, Ian.

Distant View
Really nice. I would however loose the object in the middle - not something I would normally do, but in this case I think it would add strength to the simple composition. I also think a hard crop off the top to make it a letter-box would also be slightly better. Just my own opinion of course... Cheers, Ian.

Different Me
I thought I recognised that face! Brave man you.Nice work martin. Window light?
Some critique? As Paul says, it's too central and also too much space above the head - get those eyes on the top third and feel free to crop into your head (so to speak...
) You can put the space either side to equally good effect. The rest of it is great. Keep 'em coming...Cheers, Ian.
