Jean,
It looks like you're off to a good start. In what I'm seeing here, you seem to like highly processed images. A lot of what you displayed, I see what used to be done with cross-processing slide film... high contrast/altered colors.... and it's a style that seems to be making a comeback.... style alone doesn't make a good image, but you have several nice ones so far.
I would say that on some of the photos you could do some more 'working the subject'.... What I mean is, look for interesting angles, light, etc, that will make your image a little more substantial... don't take one or two photos of a subject and consider it done. Take 20, 30, 100 photos of a subject over and over... sometimes over days if it's a still life... until you have something that really stands out. Pick something that you want to do a project on.... say, the motorcycle... study and photograph it for a month.... see what happens.
Some of the early photographers took years researching and photographing the same subject. Go to your local library and look up photography books, you'll see what I'm talking about.
It's a good start, though!

Freedom is a work of art. Wonderful.
Stairs to heaven is a nice shot of the stairs and I like the downed tree as sort of a roadblock on the way to heaven.
Electronic Torture had a nice side composure of a crippled device.
Those were the ones that caught my eye.

Very interesting. You have an eye. I can't quite explain why I like to photos, but I do. Some seem surreal, some strange, some unlikely detailed. Keep it up!!

i'm very impressed especailly with old motorcycle photograph. you've took a junkie piece and turned it into a masterpiece (i'm serious), but i'm not too excited with the photoshop...e.i "new life" you don't have to add color to make a picture or object to stand out....overall, your work it very good and i could see it in a magazine or book cover. good work
