That actually would be pretty helpful, rather than me making guesses.

While this is fairly technically sound, it just lacks creativity. We've seen this set up from you before. The only technical issue with it, that really kills any mood you might have set, is you tried to photography high-key (light) items on a very low-key (dark) background with high-key lighting. Sometimes it can work, but it just makes the snowpeople feel out-of-element. The other thing is that I cannot clearly identify what objects you chose to use. I can make guesses, but I can't say for certain.

This made me giggle, a lot. The idea is so funny, that there's a giant toothbrush feeding our crisp blue waters. I don't know if that's what you were going for, but that's what I saw. I would say the only thing that takes away is that after seeing so many of your other photos, this one feels a bit flat between the mountain and the toothbrush. But it's still a very wonderful image.

This photo mind boggles me. I can't decide if you used Photoshop to get it that way or not, because it really looks like a glass of water tipped over on the carpet or something. Most of all though, I love the lighting being the big compositional element, and just leading you to the glass. Normally things shouldn't be centered because it causes disinterest in photos, this one works pretty well with it. Nice job!

This is a very interesting idea, and it clearly conveys choices off of lists without you saying anything, which is great. It's incredibly creative too, having a giant person standing between two highways looking at a map! I had to laugh, such an idea is fantastic. The only issue is that the person is transparent, and it doesn't quite fit.
