Some are rather shaky/blurred, 1, 4 and 6 being the main culprits. What kinda of camera do you use?

They are only blurry because the UER only allows people to submit photos with 100k image quality which is basically crummy quality. Most of the picture quality of my photos are 5 to 10mb and they are very crisp and clear. I had to condense the size in order to be able to post them.

I use a nikon D300 and nikon D3200.

1 isn't square off and suffers because it.

3 and 4 both need more in the frame; pan back.
3 would look better with the whole window and some wall showing; pan back. A couple f/stops down so the backdrop is more in focus. Minimum f/8

5 is the best but isn't completely squared up; get in the habit of squaring up a shot when you are lining it up. It will become second nature in time. Always square up your shots unless you have a good artist reason not to.
You can always crop, but if it's not in the frame... it never will be.

2 and 6 are throw aways.

I'm going to speak the obvious. Use another site to host. Flickr. Imgur. Photobucket. Weird. Up.

One. That dead space on the right doesn't do you any good.

Two. Graff. Whatever.

Three. Could be cool. Maybe... If... The lighting was a little better , you didn't cut off the bottom corner of the door. And didn't include the hole in the wall.

Four. If it was portrait oriented DVD included only the sign and basket ball hoop. Could be cool.

I didn't get any further.

You have a lot of dead space that isn't contributing to the compositions.

Lighting / exposure is pretty "meh".

Maybe a good thing to do would be, look at some of your favorite UE pictures taken by others. ACS try to figure out compositionally why they work. And then look at yours and see why they don't.

1. I like the lines and light here.

2. Doesn't strike me. That's just the subject matter though, not the shot itself, that's an issue.

3. Kinda like this one, actually

4. Seems cluttered with everything going on outside

5. Could be improved with some brightness in the back

6. Clutter distracts from the hoop

Whenever Blackhawk comments I have nothing left to say. He's spot on, as always.

2 and 6 are not even in contention. Just too simple. I like where you're going though I can see you have some creative thoughts.

definitely, the comp not doing much for anything, the PP is pretty bland and no matter what anyone says PP is very important and yes this included color correction
