I had a look at your images JoeBlack, and they look all fine. Some have very beautiful light effects.What's missing a little is just the "story" or the object catching the eye. I know you have not a very strong computer, but that's not a problem. Sometimes one object at the right place brings out great an image. A sample is your image "lost". Some users asked me where they can find ideas for their images. I answer: just look around you for realistic images (the streets and offices and gardens are full of ideas), close your eyes and dream for fantasy images or read books (all kind of books), look at historical images or whatever. Just follow your way, try every thing you like to try. And, as Bop said, have pleasure and fun and create images for yourself before creating it for others:-) Guitta
