I like 4, 13, 15, and 21 out of these shots. I am not a good critic so I am sure others with help out in that regard.

I like the dogs pose in #6, I just wish your hands werent in the picture, know what I mean?

# 4 and #22 are my favorites out of this batch. the others i feel could have had something [diffrent] done to them.

21 is just plain distracting I can't judge the others after I've seen that.

The first day I got my digital rebel I was chased out of the grocery store too. Also, I took a pick very similar to #11. The similarities are ironic.... anyway I like: 1, 4, 8, 13, 18, 21, and 22. I think # 16 would look great in black and white.

its ridiculous!!! anyone know the reason? PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOT A CRIME. all the ones you listed as your favs i think our my favs too! although i disagree about the b&w on 16, my fav part of that pic is the colors.

oh and i am from south jersey, us =)

I like 1,3, 21 for me. I don't think you'll get very good results converting an image to infrared in PS. Did you mean shooting an infrared image and processing it in PS?
