Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
A lot of your photos lack a foreground and a background!. And lots of your images are flat, which leads me to believe you are shooting on auto and photoshopping, I'd start out with learning how to understand shutter speeds and aperatures first, before you get into photoshop!. Understanding photoshop doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you a digital artist, very different!.

Thats actually a great, easy, explanation on that website, I suggest checking it out!.

And for the rest of your pictures, I think you're doing well for your age, but continue to progress and take critisism!. Be care of the lens flare, and make sure you always have a level horizon line!. many photographers neglect to correct the horizon line, and it drives me INSANE!.

But I like the one of your brother the best!. The silk in his shirt is very good!. I'm sure with a couple years, you'll be a great photographer!. Just keep practicing, you have great potential!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

1 and 2 I did not like!. They both seemed to have a lot of noise and 1 you could tell was taken out of a car (you could see the reflection)!. The rest were pretty good!. Were 1 and 2 taken at a earlier time!? If I had to rate them I would give 1 and 2 a 2 out of 10 and most of the rest a 7!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i like the fact that you have a wide range!. you are able to photograph a piece of paper, and the sun, and make both pleasing!. very nice!. its good that you do it from the heart instead of following guidelines that could just result in restraining you!. over all, very nice photographWww@QuestionHome@Com

I would say you have some talent! These pictures are great! What kind of camera are you using!? You should post your work on deviantart!.com!. (It's free) I have a profile and people can critique your work if you want that!. My profile is http://the-last-vampire!.deviantart!.com if you would like to check it out! :) Good luck with your photography!

You have a lot of potential!. Play around with your camera and learn what all of the buttons means and all of the functions!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow, what a wonderful set of photos! You have a great eye for photography!. Keep up the good work and we might see you in national geographic one day!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

All a 9-10 (I only looked at 1-4), except maybe the first one, as it doesn't have as much flair!. I love the third one!.!.!.!.so unique!. Go be a professional!.!.!.please!Www@QuestionHome@Com

i really do like these photos, your really good for your age!Www@QuestionHome@Com

very nice! please!.!.!.!. what camera do you use!?!?!?!?!!!!!!! You have great talent!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

1: This photo lacks substance!. There is nothing in the frame to critique!.
#2: I would have used a polarizer with this one!. the color is blah!. The framing is nice but it is not sharp enough!.
#3: interesting!. I'm not sure I like how you framed this!. I think the color of the phone or whatever it's called is distracting and confusing!.
#4: Not a good choice for black and white!. I would prefer to see this in rich color!. Formatting is nice though!.
#5: doesn't work!. The dof is really off in this photo!. My eyes are immediately set on the blurred branches at the left the page!.
#6: that cast of light hurts my eyes!. Again a photo with no substance
#7: nice!. good dof, nice and crisp where it should be, beatiful colors!. good job!.
#8: I would have loved this photo!. However, the framing is off!. You should have not cropped the legs out!. And you should have cropped more from the top!. The only thing that I might like to see is more dof on the water so that your brothers image would have popped out more!. Contrast is pretty good though!. this is my favorite!.
#9: love itWww@QuestionHome@Com

Wow, you do have a great set of photos there!.
I personally really liked 2-7 and 9!. Your magnification photos are all very well done, and for those pictures I have no suggestions!. Although with #3, did you write out the lyrics to the song!? I thought that one was pretty interesting anyway!. also, for 8 was pretty good too, but I think with people photos, they're more meant to capture emotion, and i didn't really feel any emotion in that picture!. Maybe it's just me!?
And for #1!.!.!. well wide open spaces are never a good subject for photography!. They're overdone, and nobody wants to see that when they're going through it in person!. And also, you can see the reflection of the window!. I know it's hard to take pictures in the car, but if it's possible, never take pictures in front of a window, unless it's part of the subject!. (at least the flash wasn't on, that would have been horrible, lol)
But I really loved most of your photos!. Keep up the good work, and whoever told you you were a natural is right!. You should keep them for a portfolio someday maybe!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
