I appreciate that you took so many pictures of the same subject; seeking to get just the right image. However, this gives me a sense that you did not go out to seek other subjects or work to think of other unique ideas.
I think that the vertical lines in the 4th picture make your composition more interesting than the vertical lines in your 2nd picture. I like that in the second photo the lines are completely parallel to the sky making the wooden post stand out. One of the electric cables kinda breaks the image in half but the image is still more weighted towards the left.I think that the grayness in some of your pictures is actually appealing but in the pictures of the electric cables maybe if you would have played with contrast and made the clouds whiter, you could have taken this images to another level.
Your subject matter in the last two photos is really interesting to me. And you controlled the depth of field very well. However, some of the photos are repetitive, although I can see your intention of shooting from different directions.
The plant writing pictures are coming from an interesting place, but in execution with the blur get a little confusing. From afar you can see that it's "sheep may safely graze" but up close it could be perceived as "sheep may safely grass" which is great also, but probably not your intention. To make the flower name pictures stronger, I think labelling all the scientific parts of the plant could be interesting. I love the concept, but it's just not connecting for me with just one written on.
I think the plant pictures with the writing are really interesting, and could use some more exploration in the future. I looked up the meaning of the text and it gives an even more interesting perspective.
I feel like a few of these photos needed more contrast and as many others said, the subject matter is a bit too repetitive. Also, as Davis mentioned it is a little counter-intuitive to draw attention to the text and have the blur on it as well.
I agree with Davis, the words have the potential to be really interesting. Usually when someone photographs words there is a lot of intent behind it, so maybe if you were to write more messages on plants and blur out areas that feel intentionally blurred out you can create a really intriguing story. I think a variety of words would help these not feel repetitive.
I really appreciate your intent with the writing on the flowers. However, some of your images feel a little too grey - they need more contrast. I also see your intent with the composition with the telephone poles. There are a few images that could have been a little bit more in focused.
i really appreciate the idea of the words on the plant, it's interesting and creative. but overall your photos look grey to me even though they are taken intentionally and with great composition. Also I agree that you can enrich your subject matter although I know may like focusing only on one or two thing, but more subject matter can be inspiring.
The flower pictures are really interesting! One photo of the telephone poles would have been enough, as it becomes redundant. I totally get that this was what you could work with. But, the compositions were still really strong.
