What is your purpose with these pictures?

reply

I love them and I feel I put a lot of myself into them. My goal is to see if others feel the same things I did when I took them.

To be honest, I don't get much of an individualistic feeling from them. They are mostly simple compositions with one major (often organic) form but there doesn't seem to be any unifying force to them other than that you took them. If I were to make a suggestion, it would be to try and decide what it is you are trying to say and then produce a coherent body of work that says it. They aren't bad pictures, but they could be better if driven by a coherent plan. Photography is a far harder medium than some people think it is, because every viewer brings their own past with them. e.g. what might be a beautiful wood to you might be scary to someone else. But, a sequence of pictures should be able to communicate what you intended to a good proportion of people: your plan should then become evident.

I love your advice. I truly do appreciate it.
