need advice

If I were to give you any advice, I would say that:

* You REALLY need to learn to simplify your compositions. Too many irrelevant objects in them.

* You also REALLY need to train up a steady hand. These look a lot softer than they should look when zoomed in. Even the slightest shaking on your part is undesirable. It's bad enough that the world itself keeps moving (remember adequate shutter speed too when you shoot moving objects like the cars driving in front of that church).

* Also, think of the "uses and gratifications" that your viewers could get from these pictures. Don't think about how YOU managed to make a great picture that impresses YOU. Think about what THEY get from the picture, what THEY can use it for, and what might cause THEM to jizz in their pants. (The "uses and gratifications" theory originated in 1970's communication science. Photos are communication, so it's relevant.)

Agreed, that's why you'll see that the more shootings are recent, the less objects are in the picture, but I still have to work on it.

Yep, I need a lot of practice for this, thank you, but I don't see the car you're talking about in the church's pictures.

I tried to get some emotions going out from my pictures, for the one in that thread for example, I wanted to express the "rest" someone can get with such a calm place.

For a picture with the church, I tried to express how someone can be really small next to such a big construction...

I try ... I try .. but it seems I can't express anything .. and that's what I don't know how to get it
