Hi
I hate to do this, but you ask for it. I want to be brutal as nicely as I can.
I don't like any of them, I am really really sorry. None of the pictures have any substance behind it. The only one I could live with is No.5, have you considered a light crop and colour correction ? (see sample).
No.2 looks like a photograph which was shot accidentally when you put the camera into your pocket.
No.4 is dominated by black trees in the foreground and what is left of the motive is drowned out by it.
The rest of the pictures are muddy in colour and lack an interesting motive and perhaps need explanatory notes to justify its existence and then it would only be of interest for those who are associated with the story, in other words not for general consumption.
I am a travel photographer and all my shots aim to make people say "I need/want to go there", so I know I need to produce images with motives which are interesting, different from the rest and say something in any language.
I hope we can stay friends.
Cheers
