IT'S ABOUT TIME. The sun is finally warming my bones.

A few shots from this week, any critique would be greatly appreciated.

#1 and #2 are from my grandparents' house.

#1 - This wild cat lives on their property(4 acres or so). Been there since she was born and has always stuck around.

#2 - Their dog, chillest animal I've ever met.

#3 - Did some rural exploration this weekend, found a bunch of abandoned houses on ga-24 near where I live. this was inside one of them.

#4 - Got up onto the roof of our science building, it has a nice view of the surrounding city. Tried out some tilt-shifting in pp -- How can I make the illusion more effective?

I like 3 and 5. 5 for being a nice sunset with some good colors and 3 for the abstractedness of it. That blue sky really pops from the confines of the room.

I love those wild cat and the chillest dog( in fact i am hearing that word for first time...what is the meaning of the word, chillest?
#3: excellent creative concept...but i did not like that wire seen in the sky...nor the rubbish seen on the floor
#5 is an excellent sunrise and #6 is a beautiful creative work

Regards

Chill can be used as an adjective or a verb -- its usually used to express relaxation or coolness.
"The spot to capture the sunrise was so chill, unlike the construction going on on the otherside of the road." -- As an adjective expressing contentness and relaxation.
"We can go to the sunrise spot and chill later if you'd like" -- As a verb expressing the want to relax or hang out.

And thanks for the other compliments!

I used this link Tilt Shift Tutorial: Make Fake Miniature Effect in Photoshop

It's a pretty simple process though. You just need to make sure the shot you are using is above ground -- so it looks like you are "looking in" on a miniature set.

Wow, I really like this shot.

Thank you

Picture #1 of the cat, you really needed less DOF, so the focus was on the cat. Also a closer crop will really help.BTW, it sure looks like she's had a tough life so far with both ears being clipped.
Pic #2 is a very nice snap shot.
Pic #3 is a solid abstract. Nicely composed and exposed.
Pic #4. I'm not a big fan of tilt for tilt's sake.
Pic #5 is a solid sunrise. Even though the rising sun is dead center, it still works for me because of the sunrise reflection in the water.
Pic #6 is just a solid, well composed and exposed macro shot. I really like how the sky changes colors from left to right.
