Just check them out and tell me what you think. All comments or suggestions are very much appreciated.
I’ve been told before that I have a grasp on the technical aspects of photography. Anyone have any tips for developing skill in the non-technical sense of photography?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks, Yonk! I shoot with a Nikon D60 and either a 50mm or an 18-55mm.

You have a really good eye. The B/W photos really show your talent best. Not that I’m saying you shouldn’t shoot color. But all in all very nice.
Ps. She is people. Albeit furry people, but still people.

Bland would be the best way to describe the shots. They’re trite. There’s nothing in them that’s interesting. Dull. Rubbish.
I take perfect photographs every time I fire the shutter.

Wow, someone’s full of themselves (AA2…) I’d like to see your work- please post a link so we can bask in your genius.
To answer your question, yes, you have excellent technical control. The shots “look” great, but I agree with AA2 to some extent- they are not that interesting. Not that the subjects are lacking, but there is no real ‘reason’ for many of them aside from taking a nice-looking shot, if you get my meaning. Here’s a link to an incredible photographer, who writes REALLY well on the artistic aspects of photography. Click on the book covers for examples of his work- he does everything on film, IN CAMERA, with NO Photoshop/computer manipulation- just absolute mastery of technique and amazing artistic vision.
Your photos look really good- develop a style and a niche and you could do well.

You are correct, having technical skills is not enough. Study what makes an image have impact for the viewer. Understand composition and how it leads the viewers eye around an image. I would recommend joining a camera club and listening to judges when they critique images.
