Answer 1

Most of your closeup/macro work is passable, a few are very good. If I may say so, that is definitely your strong point. The rest look like snapshots. Your portraits in front of the backdrops are the worst. They suffer from bad lighting, bad posing, and terrible cropping. It is fairly uncouth to crop fingers, elbows, hands etc, so you need to pay more attention to the details. Learn about classic portrait lighting and posing before you attempt to bend the rules.

I would suggest either a few books on the basics of portrait photography, or a class or two at your local college. www.photo.net is also a great resource.

Answer 2

I like the ones that are unique. I have seen pictures like toothpaste coming out of a tube (extreme close up) in kids magazines asking them what the picture is. I think a lot of your work is close enough to this that I wonder if there might be a market for it. Some of your people pictures are quite creative and others seem to have the wrong settings. I think you should take more pictures (especially if you have digital) and compare. Photographers can take a 100 pics and end up only keeping 1 or 2.
Good Luck

Answer 4

I really like FARM 01, FARM 02, FARM 03, FARM 04, AND TRAINING WHEELS. Farm 05 I think had to much in the picture but all the rest we pretty good.

Answer 5

Some of them look like anyone could have taken them, but others are actually impressive.

Answer 6

THOSE ARE SNAPSHOTS, SOME OF THEM ARE DOCUMENTARY TYPE, WHAT YOU NEED IS PLAY MORE WITH LIGHTING CONTROL, NOT JUST SNAP EVERY THING YOU SEE, COMPOSE AND THINK, TRY TO SEND A MESSAGE WITH THE PICTURE, PLAY WITH THE RULE OF 3RDS.
