1 is pretty cool, I like the movement blur giving this shot a real sense off action. The guys bodies frame this nicely and the hot steel they are working with provides a good slightly off centre focal point. Very nice.

2 I like the concept but the shutter speed is a bit low on this one. The hand, hammer, tongs and steel are well composed but I'd have liked it a lot more if the main focal point (the steel and the tongs) were sharp.

3 Nice, but the blown out doorway draws my eye too much

4 Looks a bit cool on the skin tones, and the table at the back is not level which is a bit off putting. I'd also crop a bit more off the top.

5 Again very nice. A good capture of people doing something interesting

6 I like the DOF and the perspective, the big gold thing doesn't look level to me which makes it appear a bit odd but I think you just about get away with it in this one

7 shame about the sky, but sometimes that's life. You do have a lot of distorsion in this though, I'd try and correct that in post.
