Very impressive You really should keep it up. I like the road and seal pictures the best. You've shown the true beauty of NZ in thes pictures

Beautiful imagery!
I liked all of your landscape photos.... especially the Long Road to Town (this one makes my heart race), the one with the cow, the one with the sheeps (these two make me feel cozy and relaxed) and the Bridge (this one reminds me of childhood)...

I see you are making the classic beginner's mistake in a lot of your photos by placing the subject of interest exactly in the middle of the picture. It's really not a good idea to do this and lumps you in the happysnaps category in the photography world. It is usually a good rule of thumb to keep the horizon in the lower third or upper third of the image. Similarly the subject (if there is a specific one) should be offset in the left or right third of the image to maximise interest. You have done this in one or two, though I hope you can now see why they work well. I don't think there are many more beautiful places in the world to photograph than New Zealand! Lucky you. Keep them coming, just work on your composition some more.
