My latest nature photography 'The Peach Garden Ceremony Shoot' Taken by me via tripod, I'll be editing the rest later.

The peach garden looks rather more like an apple garden! Interesting set, but I think there's some room for improvement (and recognizing the difficulty of self-shooting). You've cropped off the tips of the feathers in the fan in #1, and 'up the nose' shots are really just never good. Avoid tilting your head quite so far back. I would also knock a bit off of one side or the other to get the subject (you) out of dead center. Off-center compositions are almost always more please than centered ones. #2 actually works well in terms of pose, lighting and expression, but I would crop a bit off of the bottom to avoid the 'amputated hand' look. It's fine to crop limbs when necessary, but avoid doing it at/near a joint or along a longitudal axis.
I wish the image quality of these were better; I think the images would appear much stronger. Between the nearly jaundiced WB of #2, the extreme digital noise in both and the unusual sky colour, these images lose a LOT of the impact they could have had.
And, since a person appears to the be primary subject, I'll move them to the people gallery.
My garden is full of different trees and fruits, you'll see the peaches come into play once I finish editing the other photos to upload. Was tricky with the tripod not being on even ground but i'm pleased with how they came out, makes a change from just shooting in my green screen studio.OK -- 'peach garden ceremony' in front of an apple tree? Or am I missing some kind of unique peach garden/apple tree meaning here? Probably just my problem being able to recognize fruit trees.

Thank you kindly Derrel.Vtec44 said:What's so unique about this photo?
You must not be fully aware of the multiple meanings for the word unique.
unique definition of unique in Oxford dictionary American English US
I've had about enough of this crap over the past couple days.
Do YOU happen to have an image EXACTLY like either of these two? No. You don't. Neither does any other person alive on the planet. Ergo, both images are unique images. Very simple. Look the word up for yourself, maybe familiarize yourself with what it means. It does not mean what you think it means, obviously. In any of the multiple senses of the word.
Look at the predicative form, and you will see that unique images can be associated with a particular person. As in, "Vtec's unique wedding photographs were well received by the couple." Unless of course, you'd like people to say that every wedding photo you've made is nothing but generic junk, you really ought to lay off the work people do.
Sorry to be so blunt, but sheer, cheap-shot rudeness sometimes deserves a slap right across the face.

Okay folks, let's pause and catch our breath. The OP has posted images he has taken in a gallery. Let's just and concentrate on that, and provide him with feedback which may be useful. Mmmkay?
Thanks!
I think we can say it's exactly the same for the OP....If that's the case, I'd like to know what's so unique about the images. As an artist myself, I know what makes my image(s) unique although the concept has been done before. Every single little detail is deliberate and there's a reason. There is no accident. If you can't explain it you don't know it. It's a simple concept, especially for someone who is suppose to be educating everyone and ushering in the new age of photography.
