You need to take your request to the Critique section.

Welcome to MM.

Orca Bay is correct.  We are not allowed to do critiques anywhere but the critique section.  You should familiarize yourself with the rules of the forum before you post in them.  There are some specific things you will need to know.  I suggest that you read the forums a bunch prior to posting so you get an idea of how people handle things and what you can expect.  If you do post in critique, don't argue with people who make a comment and be prepared to have a thick skin.

Reading the forums will help you to identify the areas that many, many photographers and models have issues and the forums can give you the insights to avoid the problems.  Good luck!

HI Simon,

Unlike others, I'll welcome you to the site and urge you to keep doing what you enjoy.  Shoot as much as you can with as many people as you can.  When there's no models available, shoot whatever catches your eye.  The hardest part for any photographer is learning how light reacts and how it be used to creat great images.  Shoot shadows and low light as much as possible as well as strive to always close an image well and so that it draws to viewer in.  Step out of your comfort zone as much as possible.  It will help your skills improve simply by pushing your limits. 

Best of luck on the site and in everything you do.  Message me if there's anything I can do to assist you.
