I love photography. I've been bitten by the bug and it hasn't let go in the past 21 years. I've been told I have a natural talent for the craft and it makes me feel really good about my work. I even took a course in High School to hone those techniques. Unfortunately I couldn't continue with it since it conflicted with another class, and music took precedent over photography.

But I never put the camera down. I kept on taking those shots even as I graduated from film to digital. Yet as much as I love this hobby, I find something is missing...

Criticism.

When I didn't take that continuation of photography, I lost a valuable tool. There was no one to critique my work. And as such, I feel as if I am not progressing, but just standing still in my hobby.

I don't find it mean to tell me something doesn't look right. By all means, tell my photos are sub-par, or good, or even bad. I won't take offense as long as you add a technique to try. Tell me what you think and toss a piece of advice. While I love photography, I am no expert and I would love any tips, tricks, and techniques you have.
