These are incredible photos. Skill like this doesn't disappear so easily. Maybe just look for new ideas, try new things.

I like seeing the horse's expression. Maybe eye should stand out more. Maybe some curves adjustment. Compare to the colour version too. Cat is peering over, looking to the right, drawing attention ...

I prefer the second one. It has a fantasy/magical feeling.

Wow, very beautiful photos. 1st and 3rd are my favourite. 3rd photo is almost abstract. The flower shapes have some feminine quality. What is this flower?

Clematis I didn't like this at first because of it seemed imbalance. In focus fence on right side only. Leaves on left side only. But maybe to together it is balanced. Post-processing might improve ...

Sometimes it's better just to leave things to the viewer's imagination. And there is already magic in that lighting and blur. The flame and the butterfly merely distract from the real magic of the ...

Considering how dark the background is overall compared to the flower, a simple curves adjustment might be enough to reduce the detail/contrast of the background to deemphasize it, and enhance the ...

Yes, you have the right idea. So did AK_Hiker when he mentioned stained glass windows of a church. These leaves are lit by the sun as directly as possible from the top/front and I shoot the ...

I read it but misunderstood, I didn't realize you continued photography normally with just an iPhone. I just noticed the camera you bought still has tag, the accessories are still wrapped up, ...

Leafscape 1 Leafscape 2 Leafscape 3 Leafscape 4 #1 was in recent "Leaves" challenge but didn't do very well. Maybe you guys will like it more. These are all from the past month, I hope to add more ...

Wow, I feel bad, I wasn't trying to promote the camera or anything, I hope you won't be disappointed. It does have limitations (slow operation [especially for RAW], dark lens, small LCD, no IS) ...

First photo is amazing. Maybe would be even better if rotated? But yeah I am jealous I will never get to photograph something like that.

I like 3rd and 4th photo. You should try photograph them when it is overcast. My dad had a house with a backyard that had a big rock with some weird mushroom like things growing on it, and I ...

Another person who is "not serious enough of a photographer" and "downgraded" from SLR is Alex Majoli: http://www.robgalbraith.com/multi_page8c1c.html?cid=7-6468-7844 I am in the opposite ...

Maybe check Zenfolio, they no longer offer the $25 annual plan to new customers, but the $60 plan seems okay. Unlimited pages, unlimited storage, full customization (without need for editing CSS). ...

I wonder if people questioned the legitimacy of post-processed photographs so much during the film and darkroom days as they do now with digital cameras and the "digital darkroom". Like, was Ansel ...

I bought my very first camera in 2004, a point-and-shoot, the Olympus C5060WZ, for $800.  Less than a year later I traded it in (Henry's guarantees 50% value) to get C7070WZ for $540. So ...

Perhaps you should explain the "railway tracks must be off centre" rule. Otherwise your sarcastic retort seems hypocritical. Anyways I agree with your crop, but for different reasons. The poles ...

You really can't think of any reason why a photographer would want a quiet and unobtrusive camera? Please think before posting.
