    Hey guys. Here are some more photos from yours truly. You know what to do.

    I like the first, third and sixth pictures.
    They're the only ones that seem to represent any signs of emotion... so would be the only ones I would consider a successful picture by a photographer. The other ones (to me) feel simply like you've taken pictures of random objects / people.

    The sixth one in particular isn't something that directly represents an emotion, but represents a scenario which can be emotional so there's still something behind it.

    My favourite is probably the third representing neglect and abandonment.

    Thank you for listening to Mr. Shoutbox, lol.
    And thanks for the complements/critique.
    I'd have to say, as of right now and out of these, the first is my favorite.

    Yeah, the first has a lot of potential in it and symbolises loneliness, moving on, new beginnings, escape... quite a lot behind it considering it's such a simple picture.

    If it was a landscape shot, it'd be something I'd expect to find in a middle-aged woman's (I say woman, because I don't particularly find many men bothering to buy paintings/pictures these days) appartment hanging in the living room or something. It's nice.

    I love the third one because it symbolizes natures strength over mankind (overgrown railroad)

    I would love 1 if it wasn't taken by an iphone/cropped weird.
    2 is too cluttered for me
    I ruv 3, the contrast is eye-gasmy
    4 is kinda meh, not interesting
    Think you coulda zoomed/cropped with 5
    6 is intriguing, but the composition seems a little wacky
    7 is kinda cliche and the bar/thing sticking out of the bottom is a little distracting
    8 is a nice use of silhouettes/depth, I like it
    9 is kinda messy and strange, but in a good way

    Overall, you've got a good eye for photography, I hope more people upload their photos, I might upload some of mine :D

    Thanks much for the comments, ER1CO.
    Just so you know, all of these (excluding 9) were taken with my DSLR. I sharpened the crap out of the foreground of the first, lol. Maybe that's what gave you that feeling?
