YOu are definitely creative in your themes and concepts. I would like to see some more variety in your port before I start paying you. Dont get me wrong your pictures are nice - but I would like to see some improvement in camera positioning, post production and indoor lighting.

Carry on as a hobbyist.

I see the potential of good photography - but I didnt like your avatar, your port or your concepts! I shall have to ask you to expand your port by working TFCD. Sorry. This is my personal opinion!

You may want to weed out the amateurish pictures from your port and get some new ones by working on TFCD basis.

Thanks for taking a look, I'm honored by your estimate! 

Unfortunately, if you're right then I'm doing something very wrong - I've made a grand total of $1.86 in my illustrious photography career.  It might be time for me to learn how to market myself.

You could be the Real McKoy! Awesome port. Maybe, just maybe, you could check the over-dependence on post production editing.

I am going to say $100/hr.

Nice port - but I would trim it s little by keeping the best and weeding out the not so greats.

$60/hr in my mind.
