mizz - checked your gallery, and IMHO you're doing remarkably well, viewing- and comment-wise. Lots 'n lots of pics get no comments, and next to no viewings, either. Some of'em may need a bit more work, but other neglected images are superb. Yours, IMHO, show strong design and good light/shadow, although they might improve a smidgen if you also played a bit more with the various colors of light in light and ambient (such as blue/orange, red/green, yellow/purple). And then your pics just don't show enough skin ;-) I'm not trying to start another discussion pro/con nudity (after all, I'm a Boris devotee), it's just an observation on the "vox populi". As to suggestions for improving, I always suggest a self-imposed "virtual apprenticeship" : imitate a half-dozen of the pics you like best, like the masters of old who copied earlier master's paintings to learn. It's great practice, and while you're doing it, try to figure out just what it is that you like about your favorites - that'll tell you a lot about where YOU want to go with your art.
