This is a good street scene. I like the vertical composition, something that many contemporaries forget to make. Your choice of b+w is good. Bald skies seem to be much more tolerated in b+w than in color. Of course, a person or two always adds additional interest to an image such as this one.
Best of luck in your career. I am a pilot, too, of sailplanes and taildraggers and, these days, mostly bicycles.

I just returned from my first trip to Chicago. I found it to be a beautiful, fascinating city, with unique charm and attraction. Unfortunately, your photo does not demonstrate any of the beauty I saw in the city. Stuck in traffic, in any large city in America, you could get this shot, and it looks like what? Legos buildings. Without Sears Tower, this could be freaking Hartford for all anyone could tell. Chicago has interesting and unique architecture, this is a photo of poor traffic flow. Sorry for the slam, but this is no way to sell a "great view of downtown." It's no better than a snapshot from a disposable camera.

great composition, i think the fact that they are sillhouettes actually makes the photo better than if u could see the details of the planes
nice work
cheers,

Nice shot of the dog. I would have asked the nice Senior Master Sergeant to put the dog down though, the boundary of the red and green meeting on the head of the dog takes a little away from the subject.

lucas.... if you have photoshop, zoom in on your photo and take out annoying spots with the clone tool. then brighten up your sky a bit using hue/saturation. good shot nonetheless.

you're quite lucky to be able to have access to such shots. you did quite well on the composition of this one, considering it's difficult to say "a little to the left." maybe a bit of work on photoshop with colours and contrast lucas.
i think a shot showing the front of the aircraft while flying would be interesting. we often see lateral views but rarely anyhing from in front or from above.

I think the only thing missing here is for the man in front of you to be wearing a cheese hat. 
This is a good environmental shot of the stadium; excellent use of the wide angle.

I really like this, blur and all. One thing about the midwest - the cities are laid out in grids, and that really shows here. Somehow with the blur you've managed to convey a "Star Wars" sense of speed -

Hey Lucas... let me first say, this is a good portrait of Jesse. I think the lighting is not so bad anda flash other than indirect fill would have been more damaging than good. i did however take Kelly's suggestion of the black and white with a lil adjustment in curves and this is what i came up with. I almost like her idea on this photo.

It does have an older time feel. Looks like there was a lot of atmospheric stuff going on with the clouds and some of the taller skyscrapers. Since it's more about light rather than colors, this b&w version is more effective than one that's in color.

Lucas, you've captivated me again. Absolutely amazing. Even though it is blurred, that makes it even more interesting. A steady shot would have made a sharper image, but this gives it a little more personality. I love it.

Hey Lucas,
This is a good image. Maybe use a polarizing filter or UV filter to bring out the hues in the sky and reduce the blending of building and sky. Other wise a good composition.

Jason,
Thanks for the input. I played around with it a little more in PS as you suggested and I attached what I got. I lightened up the blue sky a bit, and I used the curves option to lighten the water just a little, but not much. What do you think? Thanks again for the input.
Regards,
~Luke

I probably would have also lightened the color of the water up a little bit. As is now, it definately looks a little fakeish because they just don't match up at all to what people are used to seeing in nature. However, maybe that is just me. It does have good composition though, with a very strong vertical theme carried foreground to back.
