Welcome to the forum and this Group, Corey! You should find this a stimulating and friendly environment.

Wow! An excellent start. All very impressive, appealing images.

The first three have a real power, almost a signature look the share. I'm usually put off by symmetry, but I like your central placement of that striking tree, perhaps because the background is not symmetrical. The same applies to the following image.

The last two images have a sense of other-worldly mystery about them that is very compelling in a different way.

I like all your compositions and processing (although there is the faintest of haloes around that tree. However, if this is all film and darkroom, I imagine that burning in invisibly is harder than with digital.)

Let's see more from you!

They all are great! The previous poster pretty much said everything so I won’t bore you repeating it, but the 4th one really struck me the most. It’s almost like the tree in the middle was some strange creature running away. Keep up the good work !

Thanks guys! I love the constructive criticism, i'm working on building this series into a book so its super helpful.

That's great. I think more photographers should create books of their work.

I'm glad to hear that your making a book with these images. They definitely deserve to be in one.

Confused

Can I not post photos in the groups I belong too or only via the portfolio which has stayed stuck on the same allowance for weeks.
