Hello dale, saw your request in #communityrelations channel for some advice. The best advice I can give you on your photography, is there needs to be some post-processing, some thought and consideration to the composition. It appears as though you're considering your subjects and backgrounds, but maybe a bit more prep work... for instance moving the lawn toys out of the swing picture etc. The post processing could give it some additional contrast or vibrance...right now they almost appear as snapshots. Also getting yourself an avatar and journal entries would go a long way to displaying your dedication to your profile page. I know it's a bit lengthy, but I didn't want to leave you hanging when you sought advice.
We'll see you around dAmn
