Fantastic tones in the clouds, and the silhouetted figure is spot on. Something bothers me though... I think it's about having two things fighting for dominance in that corner of the picture. Pehaps it would have been better having one or the other, or having the figure and rock spaced at opposite sides of the image.

All nice enough shots, but shot three is the definite keeper - I love it! Great colour and framing.

Agree with Karl about the last shot, not usually good when the subject has visibly clocked he's being photographed.

I think the first thing you should address if you want to mount an exhibition is shooting images around a theme. As you observe yourself, your subject matter is rather disparate (judging from your PPG). Exhibitions work best if they are coherent and the images are complimentary IMO.

Shooting around a particular theme is also a good way to get you thinking about and therefore improving your photography. At least that's what I understand - I have never had the patience or application to follow through along these lines despite all the best intentions up to now.
Good advice Mhuni, but tish! There are clear themes in your work which may have been subconscious or just the result of the subject matter to hand, but they're there!

Lovely rendering from the DA200mm, and some nicely composed details.

The 3 seater picnic table was made for them!

Very nice fence shots too. May have to invest in one of those filters, the results are fascinating.

Did you just grab that £9.99 s/h from ebay?

I have a circular black metal one which works superbly (Chinese £2.99 ebay special - came with a 52mm cap that fit the end!). However the lens isn't so prone to flare that I feel the need to use it all the time.

Didn't know Pentax made a dedicated hood....

I think I like no.2 best, but wouldn't bother with any cloning. Is it a bit twee for a band shot though? Suppose depends on the band. The last two suffer from awkward crops at the edge of the frame, and the setting is more wedding shoot than band shoot. Howabout a more urban setting, or more remote and rural if that suits the band better?
