Wow if this doesn't summarize you then nothing does. I love the contented smile on it's face too. What a wonderful shot. Congrats on the yellow!

This one is good. Looks like a fashion shoot. What a stud. He's got big kissy lips. Needs to work on his hair do :D

ok now, you have an interesting item in there that is surrounded by some less interesting pieces. this again should be about - what is my focal point? I'll PM you a pic of mine that would give you an idea of what to do. It would be about rearrangement and changing perspective and adding a little DOF.

This one is fun too and I'm glad to see it got a somewhat decent score. The more I look at your photos, the more I realize that people just aren't getting your humor lol. It seems to be a little quirky and off-beat, and the general population as a whole doesn't get that. I hope you don't ever lose that while shooting!

Now this is pretty damn cool and I don't know why it would score that low. I do agree that the thing to the right is little bit in the way. It takes practice to look for these things when shooting.

Ok now based on our conversation, I'd say that this one is good with having your subject get the full attention. The two things I think need changing are that the post is a little soft (I'm guessing this was a hand-held shot)and you have this cyan-green stuff in the trees. This comes from playing with the saturation a bit too much.

As a suggestion, for a lower light setting, and with using an Olympus: You could actually go up to an ISO 400 and push for a little better shutter speed. This helps steady those hand held shots. Also, a lifesaver for all this noise that Oly puts out is to get Topaz Denoise 4. My pics have never looked better.

I remember this one. I thought it was funny and had a good arrangement. I think the only reason why it didn't get the higher score is because you didn't DPC-a-dramatic-ala-uber-processify it :D
