im still weighting for ANY kind of reply of the people i was going to deal with. I realy wish i hadnt been sucked in to sending a scan of identifcation over to them. There are probably some people trying to get in to the country with my details now!

You didn't get a reply?
But I wouldnt worry about it. 25,437 other photographers have sent them their id, including me.

I like the badminton ones and the guitar shots (nice studies). The shadow in the badminton photos looks almost like it's artificial because of the gardient. I wonder if you could further that sleek feeling by removing the texture of the ground.

I don't like the last two too much. The table is a bit dark and the composition is a bit boring. You have some empty space on the right upper corner. A different arrangement, maybe some play with light as well, could have made it more interesting.
In the other picture the colors look ok, though you can see that the lines on the paper were done with a lot of pressure, and I don't like the hand. The thumb is out of focus, but not enough to make it look intentional. It all looks a bit forced, you can see the pressure of the flesh getting white.

Five, thank you for your comments!
Im happy you like the studies. I agree on most of your points. The badminton shots were made on printer paper, thats why theres that texture in the ground. Im planning to make a sort of studio box for these kind of shots.

Yes, the hand is very tense. Its me trying to keep perfectly still, because in this shot I used a shutter speed of about 1 second. Just natural sunlight. :P The lines look very hard I agree. They are not as hard as they look because I made some sharpening and that made them a lot darker.

Isn't one second a bit long for something like this? O_o You could have used additional lamps, or upped the ISO a little bit. What camera are you using? Maybe a lens with which you can get a big aperture to let in more light and create a smaller DoF could help? And maybe a hand model ;-)

Yes, haha... :P I use a Canon Powershot A95. Its ok but Im gonna get a DSLR as soon as I can. Im thinking of Canon EOS 350D or Nikon D70s.
