Your capabilities are good and allow you to give more, especially with the scene of the waterwheel, which is beautiful and good in all respects.

Your results are good from the technical point of view, and you have the knowledge of directing lighting, especially as you are a studio photographer.
It remains to search for the aesthetic aspects of the portrait, and let the background be calm in order to give the power of highlighting the face⏹

Profession: Writer.

⏺ friend Mohamed Fawzi
There is no doubt that you feel the scene and try to translate it with your technical capabilities. The artistic directions - before capturing - need to restore the vision and adjust the frame, especially choosing the missing angle for you.
The picture of the sunset along the beach - for example - was weak and far from affecting, and you had to delete the upper part of the picture, as long as it looks like an intruder, and therefore there are no clouds or the like.. and give preference to the front of the picture - the beach -.
As for the image of the buildings from the corner of the street, it was supposed to be taken with a wide-angle lens, while getting as close as possible to the subject, instead of coming rigid like this.
The important thing to note is that you review these photos to take advantage of their mistakes in your subsequent productions⏹

There is nothing wrong with the result, and this calls for more efforts, especially since you have a vision that can be developed and dealt with with an advanced artistic perspective.
Looking forward to your other works, we wish you more progress ⏹

Profession: Technical engineer.
Equipment: (Pentax MX)

⏺ A friend is chaste
Comprehensiveness overwhelms your work, which makes the images lose the center of focus, although you understand the techniques of using the camera, but you have to pay attention to the technical aspects, as you focus to derive the vision or idea from your work.
Try to focus also on confining your frame to get the strength of the scene, and search for other angles before capturing ⏹

You go through an inevitable stage, which is the beginning stage... We call it random picking, but as long as you understand the use of your instrument, you have to develop your vision so that your viewing becomes more accurate, and your view is more loaded with artistic vision⏹

⏺ friend Muhammad
Your pictures are beautiful and it was likely that you would have come stronger in terms of theoretical attraction, that is, studying the frame in depth with deliberation and accuracy of work to reach photographic paintings in the full sense of the word.
You must take advantage of this issue to do better, and we are waiting ⏹
