whilst most of what you said makes sense, the idea here is that
you're still trying to learn.
One way is to edit the photo in photoshop to see if they truly turn
out the way you envisioned it to be. otherwise you'd have to invest
in really expensive equipment to go pro. for example, you can use
shift lenses to correct perspective but they are terribly
expensive.
your series of photos does not tell a story. It looks like, at
best, a mish mash of photos you've selected from a bevy of photos
and put together. One could post up 3 photos and still tell a
better story.
I do not think that you truly understand the 1/3 rule. it's not as
simple as putting the "object" in the 1/3 position; geometry and
focus comes into play as well. a common mistake all too easy enough
to make and dismiss. see how others have worked with it instead.
whilst it's true that it dosen't always work, most pro
photographers *can* make it work, but instead *choose* to deviate
away from it to create much better photos.
it's like learning the abcs. one could learn how to speak a
language but not how to spell and still get by.
the general rule of colour composition is that the less contrast
and colours ther e are, the easier it is. you seem to be just
concentrating on composition, or rather, capturing everything
within the frame.
most of your photos do not look appropriately white balanced. also,
the brightness range fluctuate too much.
In any case, how you intend to learn is entirely up to you. i, for
one, feel that it is easier and cheaper to learn with a cheap
camera but excellent photoshop skills. it would also teach you
about the technical aspects of photography, such as how to read a
histogram properly, ISO graphs etc... it would also help a beginner
to invest wisely on what's REALLY required. for example, if you're
not an architectural photography you would very likely not purchase
a shift lens.
cheers.
