(Unless, of course, image manipulation is strictly forbidden in your assignments.) I won't express my criticisms, because I think MrMayat have expressed some professional criticisms well enough. Also, there's at least some direction in your post like this, unlike mine. :X double: I think what MrMayat meant is that you can undergo a post-processing activity to artficially crop some of the pictures you took.

Another photography assignment. Here's my take. Childhood: First off, nice timing. It's good on its own but there are a couple of different takes on it. Pity about the pole in the foreground. 1) Crop off the stray leg on the left. 2) Crop and frame the two kids 3) Crop and frame the laughing kid and the dad. Ice-cream man: Idea is there, but needs better execution. Too much clutter and subject not isolated enough. Consider tight crop of girl and ice-cream man. Flight: Once again, nice timing. Motion blur works well in this instance. Pity about the "white" board on "white" tiles. Consider a floor eye view if you wanna highlight the "flight" theme. Might wanna use flash to cast his flying shadow on the wall too. Impromptu stage: Nice capture but messy background. Consider taking from the back of the skateboarder at a low angle. You'd have either buildings or sky as the BG. Or simply do a panoramic crop to get rid of the bottom portion. Yin & Yang: Nice and simple lighting. Not sure about including the connector though. Also, when text is involved, make sure it's upright. Overall, nice work this time around. Streets/candids are tough to get right due to its randomness , but keep on shooting! Yay.

Childhood:

Maybe bokeh out the background or maybe only the 2 main subject have colors and the rest are b/w? Base on my noob interpretation, might not work out well. :3 Ice-cream Man

The photo is too cluttered with people, eyes tends to wonder around everywhere in the photo.

Base on my noob interpretation, might not work out well. :3
