a review somebody gave me in a photographie forum....

Hey, I went to your link and your images all need work starting from the basic. Composition is off, lack of defined subject matter, exposure, etc… You are not using your photography skills to focus the viewer. I get lost in your images because; I am not sure what you want me to be looking at. Learn some rules like Rule of 3, Leading lines, Sunny 16 etc… Then expand your knowledge by more professional standards by reading, viewing other professional images, workshops, mentorship, etc… You seem to be just starting out and yes, you need better equipment but, what you have is great for learning where to go from here and how to view images in your viewfinder. I think your direction in the images was for an artistic approach so; I edited one of your images for you to see the difference in how to direct a viewer. I did this post process but, you need to learn how to do this in the capture phase of your photography. Your current images are snapshots in nature but, the potential for outstanding image is there.
Your image
My image corrected
My image is not the best for about 5 minutes of work but, I corrected towards what I believe your attention was...Artistic in nature.
Do not get me wrong you seem to be at the place where all great photographer start. They had just enough equipment and a whole lot of desire. Focus your skill to the style you wish and master that skill before moving on to a different skill. Network with other professional photographers you wish to be like.
Take care and be safe.
God be with you,
Tony
