I took a trip to Haiti recently and took some photos. Note that I'm a total nooby when it comes to photography and this is my first time attempting any sort of photography. So feel free to cnc, but try not to be too harsh D: I will update some as I edit more.
Where did you go exactly? Port-au-Prince, Les Cayes or Leogane?

Heres my criticism and outlook on what you have here:
You're talented when it comes to independant portraitures and natural portraits such as number 3/ 4/ 9 + 11
but theres also a brilliant image I Love < and i dont just say that, thats the chalk board with the vibrant red flowers, such a brilliant image!
Advice on the others ... the two landscape images lack a good composition in my opinion, you cant really see the main point in the images.. uhmm the first bike image in almost a sepia tone is nice as a single.
The black and white of the walkway really in my opinion doesnt fit in at all for some reason. its a great image but it really doesnt show haiti to me,
I love your images! i'd love to see some more you have! maybe post up a contact sheet so i could look? ^^

Thanks guys.
Bogui: My mission trip was to a small village called Anse dHainault on the west coast. We flew into Port-au-Prince, then flew to Cayes, then took a 10 hour drive through the mountains to our village.
Hobbit: Thanks! I'd love to show you more, but this is the first time I've ever done photography. :P
EDIT: I do have more Haiti photos, though. Once I edit them, I'll show you.

Not often do I comment on anything like this, but I do have to say that some of these are really nice, especially the one of the chalkboard and the flowers. Nice work. I'm looking forward to seeing more soon.

Your landscape photo's look a bit lq to me but maybe thats becouse they are sized down or something..
