just wanted to post up some pictures i've taken. i enjoy hearing feedback on them, positive and negative... but constructive criticism would be appreciated. all were taken with a nikon d40 with a 15-55mm lense. they all look much better when they are enlarged, so click on them if you need to. feel free to rate them in my profile as well...

you have a lot of creativity, cool angles, different ways of looking at the scene. I like it, keep it up. I might try a few of these techniques out.

The bug was epic man, not to jack your thread, but peep this.

No where near as well framed as yours, or colored as well, but worth peeping for a fellow macro lover.

I like the shots alot.  The subjects are great, the colors great and the framing is great for the most part.  But, the golf course one with the water looks a bit crooked, and there I think the border is a little messed up.  Same with the border of the one with the two cats.  Minor things you can still change but overall great shots.  O and depth of field was great too.

I liked all of them except for the scooter one.  I just don't like scooters.  Don't mind me though.

you deffanatly have interesting angles, some of them can make you feel like your almost there which i like in good pictures (golfball sandtrap and driving range) but then you also have angles that just make your subject look that much better (cat lounging)  its all dope

Here's an idea for you.

Talk to the management of that golf club, show them your work, and offer to take uber pictures they can use for advertisements, magazines, website, whatever, for a small fee.

Find out how much a professional photographer charges and low ball the shit out of his fee.

for the golf course one with the bridge, i actually like it more if u cover up the part above the bridge with your hand so it only shows the little stream and bridge. you should crop the top part out, it makes it a little less busy IMO

See if the golf course owner would let you whack some free balls around.

youve got the eye, you understand what you have to do and what you need to do.  All you need to do is keep working on it and once you master it then you can start progressing upwards.
