What style?

Hi, i'm new to photography and enjoy it a lot. I take mostly black and white pictures but can't figure out what style it is. Landscape? Experimental? Fine art? Crap?

I'd say you have a mixed bag here ranging from Structural / Architectural, to Landscapes, and a Portrait.

I, personally, especially like the final image of the person walking down the road.

Yes, quite a mix of styles. That's the joy of being new to photography - everything is both interesting and exciting.

I think it takes time to develop and understand your 'style'. My own grew organically, and from a realization that images that continued to be my favorites over the years tended to have similar qualities.

Keep shooting everything you love and allow your style to evolve - you certainly have a good eye so keep experimenting.

I like the diversity of your photography, my favorites are the view of the lake, it has a foggy moody feel to it, and the bicycle handle bar, it to me is a strong yet simple image of a subject that many including my self would over look.

Just a couple of constructive comments on these two images.
I am drawn to the lake image also, but it feels unbalanced. All of the visual weight and interest is on the right side of the frame. I feel this would benefit from something dark in the water, lower left, like a rock. That would help the eye travel across the frame.

Interestingly I fell that the bicycle shot works for the same reason- the out of focus twig on the left acts as a counterweight to the handlebars. I thing if this were removed (you could test in Most photo editors) the image would not be so strong.

You're all too kind. This is motivating. Thank you

keep it coming
