I wad going going to ask the same thing.

Is this for a class? The images are very random in nature.

Well...Image of the candles is OK, but not sure of the point
guy being force fed beer is underexposed and not much of a photo.
Welding image has camera shake -no excuse for that - delete it.
PBJ sandwich? A little dark and does nothing for me.
More candles - It's an "I was there" shot.

Skipping to the back of the guy looking to the right - I have NO idea of the purpose of that.

I'm still not sure what the goal is here. Is this for a photo school? Remember- the schools see tuition money, not talent.

In all honesty - these are a collection of snapshots. I don't see any attempt to control the light. The BMW bike is just a shot of a messy garage.
The two guys with the helicopter are not looking at you and there is no "story." What are they doing? Why do I care?

The guy in the hat - his hand is cut off, too much nothing above his head - just a shot of a guy walking by.

I will get slammed for not telling you how great these are, but they are not. I would much rather see a collection with a purpose: Portraits, sports, pets, landscapes, macro - anything with a theme instead of random images of stuff.

Keep with the food theme. I have never seen such a good looking peanut butter and jelly sandwich!

What I would like to hear is what you have to say about these images. How do you feel about them? What was the reason for deciding to share each image with others? What message were you trying to convey? You call these images your "portfolio". . .please explain what that means to you?

Tell us which one of all of these images YOU like the best, and try telling us the reason for your selection.

Also, I think it might be helpful in attempting to understand your "portfolio", if we knew your age?
