I like the monochrome effects and the blur of the area and other subjects around them - creates a dreamy effect like they are travelling through time together, which is I guess what they are about to do ...

Nice shot of beautiful architecture. It seems to show quite a contrast in styles - the wall on the right compared to the light-colored arches on the left.

The sky seems a little greenish but maybe it's my monitor.

I really like the way you composed this or cropped it. It creates sort of a weird effect - not being able to see the street, with the ominous clouds above the buildings. It's almost like the sky is going to swallow things up; the buildings are being dominated by the heavens.

The only other comment is it seemed perhaps like it was a little over sharpened in the area between building and sky, but I could be wrong.

I like the fact you can see some of the ominous cloud shapes, which are lit up from the lightning. The visible horizon also shows this was cloud-to-ground lightning. I think these are tough shots to get.

The only negative is the street lights, for me.

Still a nice shot.

Beautiful shot that allows the water to show more than you'd ever get from the "real" subject, thanks to a great use of reflection.

I like it. The lines from the shadows, the railing and in the foreground all add to the effect. Was it shot with a long lens? The picture seems to have somewhat of a compressed effect, which is also a good effect here.

Nice shot - they do look like twins! There is even symmetry at the bottom with the smaller blossoms on each side.

Nice composition. The colorplay works well. The sharpness seems to peak at the subject's face, even as the color ends there - nice effects.

I like the fact that the photo does not show the ground. It makes these buildings look like they are up in the clouds.

A snail on a railroad track? What a great statement! I like your placement of the rail so that it divides the frame in two halves.
