You just got a 60D and a D5100? Why? Did you just win the lottery? You do realize that when you get around to adding lenses to your gear bag, you'll be maintaining two mutually exclusive sets?

But back to your main point. You're not likely to get a lot of responses to your portfolio link. Too many photos to look at for most folks on here. And many of us won't follow links, although flickr is a safe one. Your best bet for getting a response is to post your best shot -- or one that's bothering you and you want advice on.

haha lottery nooooooo,funny story,i wanted the d5100 to uprade from my point and shoot,the saleswoman{quite attractive haha}at my local shop convinced me the 60d anniversary bundle with 2 kit lens and monopod,shirt,slingbag etc was a better fit as I could grow into it as my skills increase,i may outgrow the d5100 she thought,although I liked the user guide and cheesy effects of the d5100 I love the 60d and think it was a great choice,i got a 2nd battery and just picked up a sigma f2.8 17-50 ex os lens for it and some filters,i went to work out of town in a remote community in Nunavut and I didn't bring the 60d as I was afraid it would be damaged either in flights or on the jobsite accomodations,on my stop thru Edmonton I seen a d5100 super cheap on kijiji so I grabbed it that's how I got both,i do like the d5100 but its no where near as fast to process images as the 60d and feels a lot cheaper in hand but for what I paid im very happy,thanx for the tips ill post a few pics intead of link to stream,im limited for bandwidth up here in Nunavut so hard to post large files,thanx for the tips

Yes, too many, pick one you particularly want comments on. If you look at other postings on this forum, you'll see that is what most people do.

I'll just comment on the last one - no real subject, everything is pretty far from the camera, nothing going on in the sky, and generally (this is me personally, not a rule I suppose), I don't like a lot of sky in a photo, unless the sky is the point of the photo - storms or sunsets or some such thing.

I don't think I have any useful comments for the rest. Not too big on B&W, so not the person to critique those.
