Hi guys,
please help me with this.
I've taken pictures for several years by now, with passion and love. I love ALL BRANCHES of photography I tried: landscape macro portrait wedding events night-astro infrared street.
I don't know where to put my efforts on in order to get some really good results! And I don't know how to understand that. For now I just experimented. Now I have to move...but where??

Please take a look to my pictures and give me your opinion
Besides if you have suggestions about how to improve, where to look to get better, your criticisms will be most welcome

There are not so many portrait and people...but this annoying privacy obsession...i stay low profile.

Hi Andrea. Welcome to the forum

You have a great flickr pictures. I think landscape is the perfect field for you.

I don't have a specific preference myself so I just shoot whenever I get an opportunity which also includes sports, pj, night photography, etc.

Just go out shoot and enjoy.

Hi Andrea. Welcome to the forum.

I just finished browsing through your gallery and am very impressed. You have a good eye for subject matter, composition, etc. I can see your passion in your work.

I can also understand wanting to move forward; to go to that next level. Have you considered professional and/or classroom instruction? You are obviously well past beginner-level but you might find someone who can instruct you in the more creative aspects of the art. I would also suggest simply studying the work of others. There's a wealth of knowledge and talent available on the internet. Gallery sites such as 500px are a great resource. Study the artists you like and learn from them.

I look forward to seeing more of your work here.

thank you to all of you.
PRECIOUS counseling guys...
@Rick. there's nothingn wrong with diversity. Of course. I'm happy with what i did in these last few years. Shoot the shootable at best my abilities. Point is: I have a limited amount of time and energy. If I concentrate it in a unique theme, or subject, I would get the best of what i can do. And it's what we all are looking for, right?
Noone of you ever found himself in this situation?

@Addy: you see the passion of my work? I'm happy with that. Pity that the exif don't record the temperature of air during some of my alpine winter long exposure: strong passion required :)
Yeah I should attend some workshop or something. Until now I learnt all by myself...maybe it's time to look for support? Internet is the true teacher of us all in the 21st century! I learnt all i know from the net

@Glen: landscape? Probably my best shots are there...

some of you is on flickr?
