Answer 1

I like the pictures. But like is not enough. You have a good eye but you need to take it to the next level. From a composition standpoint, I see the need to pay attention to the negative space around the subject. Using the picture of the Horse statue as an example the goal is to make that negative space interesting. It sounds backwards but this is one of the most important rules! The subject will take care of it self. The use of the negative space will dictate the flow and feeling of the picture.
Now you like subjects that aren't moving. That is great. When you find a place or building you really like then keep going back over and over at different times to find when the light is the best. The same shot from the same angle may be just incredible with the right tone of light. If you are unsure what that is then get up at sunrise or shoot at sunset. This will help you start seeing good light that isn't limited to those times, but there is more of an abundance of it then.
Good Luck

Answer 2

I find the first page to be the strongest. Strong support, broken path, doors and windows, are my 3 favorites on this page. the first 2 because of the angles, the 3rd just because it's pretty. You have some beautiful plays of light and shadow.
The second page is a little oversaturate as a whole, though I really love decisions decisions
I'm not a fan of the black and white images with a piece of color, though that's just a personal perferance.
Page 3 is completely over saturated, kinda like glow in the dark bright colors.

Keep playing with the tones and contrast, and try to shy away from the super bright colors.
There are defiantly a few nice gems in the set

Answer 3

I like your subject matter. While you have some nice images, . after the first two or three they all have a sameness about them. Experiment more on perspective and composition. I agree with Terisu, vary your perspective, get some closer shots of the things like peeling paint etc. Keep shooting!

Answer 4

some of the photos stood out to me more than others...i really like "broken path", "the importance of cleanliness", and "new life"...and others like it...that can be appreciated. the unique setting of the photo, the surrounding not being "proped" or "staged"...that is what makes interesting photos. you definitely have some good photos--not all of them are interesting but you have a good eye. finding things that stand out to you and kinda speak to you or you feel there is a story behind it....that makes photography worth while. good luck and keep snapping those pics. God bless.

Answer 5

Very interesting! Don't be afraid to go in close and get some texture shots, too. Some of your pictures would be a little better from closer in.

Answer 6

ok i see something, keep at it, study photography more, its about making not taking

they all look the same, as they mostly share the same view point (shoot standing at eye level), also perpectives are quite odd due to weird zooms, view points and distances from subjects, shift n tilt lenses or using a 50mm perpective would help

EDIT: to expand on terisus answer........they lack "sensitivty", get closer, use angles to lead the eye in the images, use textures to comunicate et cetera

Answer 7

None of them are Professional qualities with bad lightings,compositions,wrong angles that you stand,etc.You must go for some Photography courses at your country, which have to passed Bachelor of Arts in Photography of London and New York,or other countries, not even that you will be able one of the judges for any photography Society or clubhouse,sounds like me.Good Luck.
