Too much?

[Yownhouse]

So I was just playing around with some photos on LR3 and trying to get a feel for it and this is sort what I came up with on this late Sunday night/Monday morning. I don't really know how I feel about these so I was relying on some of your input to see if these photos do anything for you guys. C&C welcome.

Also, I think my sensor might be a little dirty so if someone could quickly tell me how to check that, that would be great.

Open notepad, make it full screen (so your whole screen is white). Set your camera to f/22 and put it on aperture priority, and point it at the screen. Take a picture. The amount of dust will probably amaze you.

The stratosphere shot is suffering from harsh sunlight (it's completely white) and the eyes look a little overdone in the portrait.

That second shot looks very similar to our own space needle

Wow, I really really like that photo! May I ask how you did this?
