Unpleasant, uneasy, unwelcome, uncomfortable.

Those were my first thoughts.

I'm curious to hear from you. What do you want us to tell you about your work? What do you think of the work of others here?

these are the few shots of my city i have taken

really what are you projecting

[Vance]

Well, unlike your first post, I'm not so keen on most of these images.

I think the third and last images are probably the better of all, and show a better attempt at composition.

I agree with Vance here.

By the first two images I was thinking this was New Orleans, but then I saw snow so I am thinking somewhere in Europe like maybe Belgium or nothern Germany. It has been a little over ten years since I have been in Europe.

I'm not sure what you mean when you ask what am I projecting? I don't think I'm projecting anything consciously.

We are very curious to hear from you. What are you trying to get across with these and your previous images posted? Do you want our reaction to them as I did with this post? Do you want a critique on them? Are you looking for an 'attaboy'?

It would be great to hear from you, about you, what your name is, where are you from, etc. This way, we can more accurately respond to your photos in a way which helps you and other viewers. We would also appreciate you participating in other folk's threads. Comment on their images, the various topics about gear, industry, professional practices, etc. We are a group of tight knit friends who have been posting together for years. We are always welcoming to new members, but you have to help us out here. :)

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

That's it Joe, throw out that welcome matt.

On the images, I'm not keen on them either. To me they look more like snaps of your local area. Nothing wrong with that. They just don't grab me or say anything. Then again, what do I know.

I'm not trying to throw out the welcome matt.

In my defense, we can be pretty sarcastic around here - and I'm no exception - but I'm not trying to be here.

I'm trying to be serious and ask about our new member.

In case anyone didn't notice, Joe is sarcastic.

And stop throwing me around!
