Hello Facepunch.
I've been photographing since 2005 as a hobby and still is, its an on/off hobby, i photograph whenever i feel like it.
So i thought it would be a good time to share my collection and get some feedback about what other people think about my pictures.

I thought it would be better for you guys check them out from my album than posting tons of pictures here.
Hope you like them.

yeah im sorry for that, but theres actually not much to read so i thought it wasn't necessary.

They're not bad, I looked at a few and they seem quite good.
I suggest you get flickr, cause then you can get friends photography friends and critique etc.
The colorful ads absolutely take away focus. At least put them on top or bottom but not right next to the pictures. They're all fighting for the viewers focus which is not really a good thing for someone who wants to look at your photos or you who wants people to look at them.
They're really nice aside from some of your post processing effects, most specifically this one:

I'm not sure if it was intentional, but the added contrast made it a lot worse than it could have been. I suggest that you refrain from editing them unless you find it absolutely necessary.

It seems like they are subject to a lot of chromatic aberration and poor post-processing decisions. They all have colour noise everywhere.
awesome pics, just please put [B]less photoediting[/B] and they would be fantastic.

Thank you, i'll keep that in mind
I'm not sure if it was just intentional, but "TEMPLE" is exposed ALL WRONG. The pillars themselves are completely black (That might be intentional, I dunno), but the rest of the shot is also 1/3rd to 1/2 a stop too dark. If you want to keep the pillars dark for contrast, then you'll want to boost the rest of the image, otherwise it's just hard to look at and unappealing.
Katukoira has a very nice subject and composition, but is absolutely ruined by, as D0G said, terrible color noise, as well as an unpleasant blur+sharpen filter (looks like sharpen filter, anyway. not sure).
Ultimately, I'd say use less sharpen filter.
The Bali starling has some pretty bad CA, and appears a bit out of focus. Are you using a low quality, kit lens?
Putousvesi is an interesting subject, with interesting composition, absolutely ruined by incredible levels of noise. I own a 400D, and I did not know it was capable of producing so much noise. It's obvious you were shooting in low light; iso 1600 1/40th f5.6, but, IMO, you should have either set that up with a tripod and a lower ISO, or used a flash (less than ideal; the back area, by the waterfall, would still have been underexposed). With a tripod shot, at, say, 400 ISO 1" f7 or something (just an approximation, based on the lighting and how it looks like you had to push the exposure in PP) would have gotten you:
1) pleasant blur on the water
2) filled-in background
3) pleasant color on the trees without having to pump the contrast and color intensity through the roof
4) fewer/no blown highlights due to PP
Over all, I actually like your processing; you've managed to take some very nice shots, and you're better than 70-75% of the people I've seen posting shots on various photography forums.
