Another Fanning Light Long Exposure Photo.... ?
They are evil and grab our vision and make eyes circle round and round -- fixated hypnotic.
Developing the skill is a stepwise, at times difficult, process... thanks for sharing your how-to...
Toll House cookies... come to mind... humm, did they have painted tins?
I like your photos, except for some of the odd landscapes, why am I seeing them, do they have a message or story?
Jumping themes if difficult to deal with for most people, you have scrambled your eggs. Separate your messages with a theme title, such as "Competition Gone Aray." showing the two that fit that theme. Don't show all your cards at once.
Photos to be effective should make a message, often guided by a title. "Grandpa Patrick is Getting Old" excellent St Patrick's Day photo. The last two photos fit Patrick's day well... I like both "muchly."
Sinewsworn ask "What do you think? Does this approach have possibilities?"
The sun is a problem, it shines on the background and so we see the background... A flash is controllable and diminishes by the square of the distance. When photographing flowers growing in the wild there is junk in the background or as kpmac said about the Lattice work... if illuminated by flash with a tight lens, low ISO, and fast shutter speed the sunlight is not the source of the light, so the background is significantly underexposed.
The fast shutter setting is dependent on the camera's ability to see the flash properly, typical, 125th but some 250th. An advantage is that in a gusting wind and movement of the plant/flower is frozen.
The trick is to set the C1 constant on your camera via manual choice... then photo close, and regulate the exposure by distance. Using C-1 makes complicated settings effortless; your camera is as easy as Granma's Kodak 2A Browny box camera.. just click. How-2 set C-1

Yes, Awesome. This is one where it is best to view my monitor from 7 feet away ... up close it is too much to appreciate stepping away it is then something the eye/mind can appreciate.
This is one of the images that would be projected onto a large wall and watched with the proper music as in "The Thanatorium" in “Soylent Green”. Three minutes into the video is what I mean:

The bird looks like I am imposing on his privacy... a bit angry.
Tulips are beautiful

Nicely done Frank, I like the weird perspective. I would suggest cropping out the road sign
I agree... but if limited to one word.... TILT
I can imagine the fun when covered with snow ... the kids would zoom down sitting on cardboard. That is what we did many many many many long years ago.
Famous artists often work with the same theme with variations. I see parts of your other images in this one. I like this one also.
"The first one is with Generative Fill and the second one is with Bing."
Same words used to generate both images???
A cloudy day at Mt. Rushmore. I like this one.
This poor young man will have a lot to report to his Southern Baptist "Sins Seen" group. Curmudgeon, it looks so real.
The stable fixed-in-place greens with the turbulent moving storm reds contrast well and tell an interesting story.
Kaleidoscope, no Joe, confess, they are church domes viewed from within. My proof, Google "famous church domes view from inside the dome" > images.
Your Image #2 is an Indian Sweat Lodge dome. All very interesting, but I like the Sweat Lodge best.
I think somewhere in my antique photo filters I have a Kaleidoscope camera filter.
Joe, oh my, you have pushed me over the edge!!!, I just ordered from TEMU, glasses, "Kaleidoscope Psychedelic Glasses, Festival Cosplay Rainbow Prism Sunglasses Goggles" for $6
Rudolf, be careful, they will put you in a padded cell with your flashlight and a ball of string!! The orderly will remark to a friend as they view you gazing at the swinging light "Poor fellow, Pendulum photography led him onto this path."
The assignment for the second-year special credit Physics class is to determine the math formula for each. The shading on the cut end of the third photo is an eye-catching detail.
details... reflections in the windows, well done.
