Hi All,

A new site with some random pictures of mine. Would like some
advice/help on improving.

Thanks,

I dislike pop up windows, I have to override my pop up killer, you know a
lot of people have them now.

cabin?  I dunno, it just sits there, but as a landscape image it lacks
detail, I can't see much of the house and nothing in the background, I have
no idea why you show it to me.

and now we see the dirty dishes presumably what the folks inside the cabin
left behind?   I'm sure your image is sharper than it seems.

grafiti, maybe its just me, but images like this smack of plagerism.  If you
were at an art museum and took a shot of a painting on the gallery wall,
would you show it and say, 'this is what I did, whatcha think?'   OK, you
got detail in the highlights and presumably you can see detail and brick
texture in the blacks, but that just means you did a good copy of someone
else's work.  there is not even some kind of relationship going with the
environment, no one walking by and reacting, no juxtaposition of this art
and the building its on, showing how the image's presence has changed the
environment.

trees and kite (or sculpture?)  here we have composition and stuff, don't
see much detail but I presume the original has some.

trains?  eh,

street at night, not bad,

castle at twilight, a drive by, seems shot from a moving car.

pretty tail lights

B&W images are way too contrasty. Color images are simple and
uninvolving. Keep trying.
