You haven't really got a portfolio until...
As a newcomer I was wondering when your uploads cease to be a bunch of photo's and truly become a portfolio. I have a couple of things that seem to be required:
i) A nice long exposure of flowing water.
ii) Someone leaving a comment on one of your shots that "Personally I would've cropped to...
a)ensure the subject completely fills the frame, or
b) strictly comply with the rule of thirds."
Any other suggestions welcome.

You MUST have at least one gerbera!! Jane
Hi Alan and welcome to ePz.
It's not a portfolio until you have:
- at least one sunset (notice you already have 2, good start)
- one selective colour photo
- a robin
- a macro of a flower with small dof
- an EC
- one which has had absolutely no clicks (to prove you are not just following the masses)
- one which you have deleted and reposted following constructive advice
- one which you have deleted and not reposted following not very constructive advice
- one which you love and thought it should have had an EC but it hasn't.
Best of luck
Ian

You will obviously need the following:
1. At least one photo of a Robin OR a Swan
2. A photo of a child (preferably your own) doing something cute.
3. A photo converted to black & white
4. A shot of something rusty, barbed wire is ALWAYS a favourite.
5. A sunrise / sunset photo.
6. A shot of your pet dog/cat/etc.
7. A studio shot, or at least something shot on a white background.
8. A photo that has been converted to b&w with one element left in colour.
9. A shot taken with a very narrow depth of field.
10. At least three pages of mediocre photos you can look back at in 6 months time & feel faintly smug about how much you've improved.
Currently I'm working on point number 10 but I'm hoping to move on to sunsets any day now...

How about a shot of a girl with a princess Dianaesque haircut sitting on a whicker chair....?
Even better, make sure she's wearing a hat!

Thought of a couple more
A bearded fisherman in a thick cosy jumper smoking a pipe..
A shot of a not-so pretty girl who dreams of becoming a model.
