That's a lot of shots to critique. Any particular thing you are curious most about? Seems the first three are framed well. Last three lacking in the processing dept.
I like the subjects in 1, 2, 17, 18

I would argue that the last 3 are over processed.

All in all, good set, good compositions, and most have a subject. Some are better than others, but that's common when you post multiple shots. They all can't be zingers.

Like Skatchkins says....anything in particular you looking for?

While I enjoyed 8-13 and 17-20, the angles of the others were either just slightly off or so awkwardly placed that it detracted from the overall effect of the picture. I do like the focus and background, so if you can work on your angle of shot, I'm certain your work would be top tier.

That is a lot of pictures to critique so I will try to generalize to get as much in as I can.

I. Get a tripod, a few of those shots look a little roughened up.

II. 6. Hope that's not a POE

III. 4,9,10,11. Those seemed to lacks clear focus on the subject (Only opinion) compared to some of your others such as 1,2,3, or 8. The coke can is a weird one as you had a very clear subject but I feel that the clutter on the ground took away from the simple combination of wood and machine, maybe a angle pointing upward showing the machine in a more open area?

IV. All of your photos are pretty bright, this is less of a critique and more of an excuse for me to say try some of your camera settings out and see what looks nice in different areas. I think if you took decrease your aperture size a little it could look cool in this location.

A general trend in your images seems to be that you tend to have blown out highlights. This seems to be a bigger problem with digital photography than film, so when you're using a digital camera you really need to watch exposure. A good way to work on this is by reading your camera's histogram. http://www.makeuse...y-balanced-images/ Also, you can try experimenting with different methods of bracketing your images to get a better exposure when you have uneven light like that. In general, you do a pretty good job with framing, just some of your shots are a little flat. Keep up the good work!

The others hit on some good points with highlights and a tripod.

One key thing about photography is to be selective with the images you show. Unless it's for purposes of education, choosing only the strongest images is key. Keep sets shorter.

And this holds even more truth when asking for critique!

My "I'll give you a pat on the back" image is the TV... #8. Love images like that.

My "OMG you should delete that it burns my eyes" image is the last, #20. Way too much processing.

Processing images is fine, but use it to enhance an already good image, not to save a randomly taken bad image
