Okay EVERYONE on MM listen up.  This is the most self introspective photographer I have seen on MM.

He says "I'm a hobbyist photographer from Dublin, Ireland. But with that said, I like to think I plan and carry out all my shoots in a professional manner. "

This is absolutely the clearest and most accurate self assessment I have seen. Your work is really quite clean and consistent. If you could move it up a notch or two and give it some real feeling, style or sense of YOUR vision, it would be infinitely better.

AMATEUR A++++, nice to see more than just GWC's here

after years of studying Chinese characters, my teachers highest (and to be honest ONLY) compliment ever was "Ugly but right".
