#1 -- This shot would look super classy as a black and white with some boosted contrast
#2 -- Seems crooked and kind of flat. Maybe tone down the saturation and boost the contrast again
#3 -- HDR? A little over done. The object of HDR is create a dramatic, yet still realistic looking picture. This is a bit unrealistic looking...and very noisy too (a result of the over done HDR)
#4 -- Don't really care for this one too much
#5 -- Very cool. The HDR works here -- makes for a picturesque scene (pardon the pun)
#6/#7 -- I like these, nice job
#8 - -Classic, maybe even over done, but good nonetheless
#9 -- Not sure, myself
#10 -- Seems crooked, but has lots of potential
#11 -- Kind of boring
Hope that helps! Might sound a little harsh, but most of these pictures have a lot of potential. Some more processing (or lack thereof) will turn up some great shots!

Thanks for taking your time, to go over all of these...
as I stated, processing might not be to everyone's liking... many are overcooked, yes, and may not realistic in a true sense of photography. I hope I am not offending anyone though
Re: HDR, I am not a believer in true by-the-book HDR, to me HDR is... essentially various ways of stretching the dynamic range....
I am glad you liked Photo Number 5 - it is actually blown to poster size and is hanging in my bedroom, like a window to Paris. This was essentially our view from the hotel in Paris.

My pleasure My comments are my sheer opinions, nothing more. I still enjoyed looking through the pictures. You have sparked a desire to visit Paris in me haha

Paris or South of France (I posted a few photos here as well) - my wife is always ready to go, just say the word "Paris" and she gets very vocal
I'm not a big fan of the HDR images themselves, but the series as a whole is very nice. I have never been to Paris, so you did a well good job at presenting the city itself in still photography.
Not everyone is a HDR fan, but I will say that photo #2 is very well executed. I like the depth the image portrays, along with being above the buildings, and capturing the essence of the Eiffel Tower. Well done.
