many of your flowers are too close, not at all in focus and i think are enlarged. this one is too saturated.

Photography Prints
i don't get this pose - Thug with flowers... all the same pose, many backgrounds.

this would be a nice shot if you didn't have that bell in the way. it doesn't add to the shot, it's in the way, its not at all in focus. don't try for fancy gimmicks, it will only hurt the shot, even if it was clear.

Art Prints
same with this, nice shot, bad weeds, especially on the right

Photography Prints
this one is better.

Art Prints
this isn't a picture of anything. there is a tree branch in the way. framing is used to cover bad skies usually. but they have to be in focus. the sky is mostly bland in this.


Art Prints
this looks tacky. if your going to use paper, make it nice paper and not ball point pen. your better off adding the text to the image. or none at all. it might have been funnier to staple it to the flower.

again i'm not sure what your thinking is standing behind stuff like this. it obscures the image and doesn't add to it. its not in focus, the scene is rather dull

Art Prints
its mostly a dark blob with a cross.

Photography Prints
so far your biggest weakness is trying to frame a shot, with an item that doesn't add to the scene. at the very least it should be in focus. mostly scenes like this don't need extra frames. use the trees to do that.

Photography Prints
this isn't bad, but the rocks spoil it.

Art Prints
behind the reeds, grass, etc. i call these peeping tom shots. adds nothing, blocks the main subject. this scene isn't of anything in particular, its over exposed and has a blue cast.


Art Prints
same here, needs a better angle. one wonders why you would hide behind the grass.

this could be a bit brighter, but its too dark and not in focus enough. the focus should be on the nose or something.

ideally, don't stand behind grass because you think its creative. its not helping it. be sure to add more depth of field if you do. add more keywords.

also cull out the first two paragraphs in the bio. you make it sound like your finally going to clean out the garage. focus on what you specialize in, not the back story of how you had to be pushed to sell things.
