Request for critique
 

Well, I have been into photography for a while now but for me it has been a solitary adventure. This is my first request for a critique from fellow photographers. I want to advance my ability and having a critical look from others with the passion is a step in the right direction. This is also only my second post to the forum but so far I like what I see. Thanks in advance for your suggestion/opinions.</p>
