O.K. everyone you’re welcoming was over whelming. I thought I would post a link to my zenfolio.com site so you can look thru what I have been doing. My main thing to work on is composition. I find myself getting so caught up in everything that I totally forget about it. The other thing is being to get out at the right time of the day to shoot. Any way here is a link to the Zenfolio site, C&C at will if you want…

Nice portfolio, Christopher. If you're looking for specific feedback to help with your compositional efforts, I'd suggest posting a single image and soliciting feedback. Tough to critique or offer meaningful suggestions on an entire portfolio of images.

You have some pleasing images, but as Rick said, a bit too much to make good critique of. Throw down some posts and join in the fun. Getting individual feedback is much more educational, in my opinion, than getting a review of a complete portfolio.

Nice portfolio, Christopher; ditto on posting a single image for critique. I'll venture a comment on the portfolio: some of the sections, such as Oregon Coast, have a large number of images that are very similar. You may want to consider culling through a group of similar images. It gets sort of overwhelming to a viewer.

In line with Marc's comment, I also recommend a "Personal Favorites" folder prominently placed at the beginning of any large collection. Place your best work there, and then folks can explore the rest of the collection on their own. (Note that I currently don't have one on my own zenfolio site, but that as my collection grows I will.) If not, your best work may never be seen!
