Good job experimenting with your camera and with a variety of subjects and spaces. Many of your images have nice tonal range, but are looking a little grey and could use a little tweaking of brightness and contrast (levels) in photoshop to make them more compelling, and so that they don’t come out too dark when we start printing.
The most successful images are the close- up glass (because you successfully defamiliarized this subject), the ball and sweeping hand (for its experimentation, composition and tonal range), the reflected clouds (for its clean composition) and the final image of the sculpture (for its defamiliarization and narrative quality.) The other images could be pushed further with the elements you are including in your compositions. I want to encourage you to keep up the experimentation, but to begin to think of ways you can add more compelling elements within the frame, and how you can push the narrative quality of your images through the way you shoot them. Overall, great job!
