Pretty good. Consider me impressed.

But wow, does that place ever look cold in the pictures. Wouldn't want to be there.
Nothing compared to Bavaria in the winter.
Wouldn't know. I live in northern Japan, which has ridiculous amounts of snow, but isn't that cold. Been to northern Sweden in february, though. That was... unpleasant.
I bet, I assume that being in Northern Sweden in the winter is akin to being one level lower in hell than the rest of the damned, those pansies in southern Sweden had it easy huh?

Well, I've been to southern Sweden too, as opposed to Jamtland (no, my keyboard can't put fancy dots and lines over stuff).

The difference, more or less, is this. In the south during winter, you'll be fine if you dress properly. In the north, nothing will save you.

Anyway, I should stop derailing your thread now. Sorry about that.

No problem, I always enjoy a chat with random strangers about the climates of different places.

Meh, i've done photography my self and your mostly just doing macro focus of plant life, in my last semester i can match most of those photos and have quite a few better ones. So really nothing to get exited about for me.

When in doubt, talk about the weather.

Lovely work! They look just like something you'd find on a professional wallpaper site or something...

I kind of like the first one. The contrast between the light foreground and the dark background with the path and overhanging trees is evocative of a uncertain future.

Or something like that.

I don't know... I can't judge on the technical side of the photography, but I can't really get excited over a flower. Then again, whenever I take a picture it doesn't feel complete to me without my dog in it somewhere.

I like them, but they're a bit clichéd. I would have liked a bit more experimental lighting, maybe try going out at a different time of day?

I live in the middle of Sweden, and it's starting to get a bit chilly if you don't dress properly. It's a very dry and windy cold, and therefore, very painful. Maybe I should start wearing my overcoat...
But we usually get around -40 degrees Celcius up north. I've skied, fast and in a blizzard, at that temperature without anything protecting my face, and it almost fell off.

You know the quote chain was getting too long.
Yep, that sounds about right. No overcoat, though? Madness. Fix that. Now.

But yes, -40. Been there, done that. People clearly aren't meant to live in places like that, so I'm a little bewildered that they insist on staying.

There is nothing wrong with them from a technical standpoint, personally I don't think the subject matter is that interesting or original, but hey I don't know jack about photography so I guess good work!

These are some nice photo's, but they feel really dated. The shot of the clouds felt pointless, and the shots of the flowers, although decent, isn't very creative.

I do enjoy the macro images where the background isn't in focus, as it gives you a focus point. But other wise they do look like the sort of images you would find if you Google'd "Nature"

You get used to it. You just have to dress accordingly. And it's only about -10 plus windchill, so maybe -15 degrees, I don't need a coat for that. I jumped into a pile of snow on a dare, didn't bother me much. But soon.

I think they're pretty.
I don't get photography though. How creative can you get with a flower? Like, turn the camera upside down or whatever? I dunno.
I like the white fluffy brambley thing. ^.^

I think you have a bit of a knack for photography. However, might I suggest that you try to get more perspective into your work?

A brief example would be to have say a flower in the foreground and a field/wood/lake/whatever in the background. It's pretty hard to explain, so allow me to try and back up my point with the following images courtesy of a quick Google search.

[Edited]

ahh I found a photography site that has images that reflect what I meant
Images referenced from [link]http://www.perspective-images.com[/link]

Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing more of it in the future if you share any in the future :D

A generic "rule" to follow is the rule of thirds. It's a guideline where if you divide your picture into three rows and three colums, your subject should be on one of those lines. If you put your subject in the center it just looks boring. Also people know what a leaf looks like, you have to make it look different than usual too, find different lighting or an interesting angle to give it a new perspective. Same with the scenery, you can take some at eye level, but lay on the ground and it will completely change your surroundings. Of course being an artform you can do whatever you want too...

I didn't take it I googled it...

Alright, you seemed to over use the one cliche though a lil too much for my taste,

Although I'm biased by the fact I like living photos (wildlife packs, busy city streets, ect)
