Answer 1

Cool. That was worth the wait. Ok. What I did was I drew the elementary lines of each photo on an index card and then examined them all together. For example photo "100_5667, drawn the way I did, looks like five musical notes, the candles as circles and the corresponding rails as straight lines by each circle, all descending. You explore those shapes and patterns frequently. For example, "Picture 281", the pencils, draw them as four lines with ovoid circles at the tip. (Blur your eyes to see what I mean.) Pic 281 and 100_5667 are similar in these "circle/line" renditions. The "Vending" photo lines up the candle circles corresponding to rectangles of pop selection. Draw it out. You'll see what I mean. Then, see "Rainy Morning" and how you've altered the four or five elemental lines by placing the circles (raindrops) at random places ALONG the lines. Cool. Another interesting one using the four or five elemental lines that I liked was in "Titantic" where you use the fingers to be smaller lines within panes of glass or "boxes" (square enclosures rather than circular or ovoid enclosures.) Nice. Picture 852 (?) the 13 birds on the line. . . same thing, birds are contrasted like the raindrops with the finger lines. I like this theme. You start out with line and circles, then boxes and circles. Then, you play around with one big circle and contrast with boxes and "fingers. A really nice one along this theme is the Picture 262 eyeball/makeup shot. The curve of the eye is the one large "raindrop". The line of the nose, the line of the makeup pen and the line of the makeup pen's shadows are your "fingers". Seriously cool. A variation of this is "Time to remember" where the circle of the clock is the "eyeball" and the Roman Numeral IIV are your "fingers. Also, "Front End" has the single circle with the "fingers" radiating out inside the propeller nose with the entire shot "framed" inside a clear rectangle. Pic 284 Has the one circle, the fingers and boxes. Nice eye.

Answer 2

i don't want to sound discouraging, but as a photo teacher i get images like yours every day.

That being said, I think you should continue to explore looking at things differently. I thought the best two photos were of the dart board and the candles on the stairs. I would like to see another version of the dart board with the dart itself in slightly sharper focus so I could compare the two images-and decide if this is the better rendering or not. I LOVE how you disregarded the conventions of a standard vertical frame in the stairway/candle shot. You let a diagonal be a diagonal.

Cracked glass: I would have liked to see a bit more light on the girl. The depth of field was perfect.

Keep shooting, you have a good eye, but need to go ahead and shoot it your way. Forget everything you've ever seen before. Good luck dear.

Answer 3

No examples to be found. I like cracked glass.

Answer 4

Give us a link to your photos and we may be able to give a better opinion.

Answer 5

Where is your work. I appreciate scenery and photography. I am actually looking to hire a photographer hehe.

Answer 6

I like them all right. Good use of composition and light. The color caterpillar shows good use of software (I guess.)

I would turn off the date feature on your camera,
