shooting Holga: This image of a silhouetted figure against the vivid blue sky is great, the girls wispy hair and the inclusion of rooftops works really well Photograph: GianLeo Frisari/Flickr

portrait 5: Using objects to hide the face of a subject is another useful technique. However in this image the bottle has become more important than the woman herself. Also the background and the scale of the hand in the foreground are quite distracting Photograph: GianLeo Frisari/Flickr

Night: While it's a good idea to photograph someone from behind, the composition has been ignored somewhat and the white balance has not been adjusted for the tungsten lighting, hence the yellow effect of this image. Perhaps the woman is just too obscured Photograph: GianLeo Frisari/Flickr

Trainman: An interesting shot in terms of colour and composition, but the figure in the background has been blurred a bit too much. Perhaps the depth of field adjustment has been taken a little too far Photograph: GianLeo Frisari/Flickr

At the curve: This works well as the viewer's eye is led into the picture from the wall on the right, you get a great sense of movement Photograph: GianLeo Frisari/Flickr

Flying: This close-up profile image of a face where a light has been used to illuminate the edges works very well. Using a dark background has helped highlight this effect, and the photograph looks quite dramatic Photograph: GianLeo Frisari/Flickr
