I have a question for You! How do You think I could improve my photography and make my photos more appealing? I'd love to hear what you think.

I feel myself growing with confidence as a photographer, and I think my photography has dramatically improved, okay so I've sort of turned to portraiture but experimentation is like the definition of art lol, well one of them. The weird thing is that no one really comments and favourites my photos anymore, and I can deal with it but I miss the constructive criticism people used to give - it used to be extremely encouraging and helpful. Does this mean, though, that what I thought was wrong, is my photography quality decreasing from what I used to do? Please help. I value your opinions greatly.

So for college, I've been having to take photos with a manual camera. I don't mind this at all. I've finally got the hang of a manual camera. But, we have to process them ourself, I did try by myself and it was bloody awful. My film didn't come out at all and the processing didn't do what it was meant to do. In conclusion, I don't want to process my own film again cos I know its going to go wrong. The film was Illford HP Plus 5 with iso 400. The developer was Neat Xtol. We also had to use a Stop Bath and a Fix. I am seriously thinking of making pictures next time with two sets of film, and then getting one done professionally and doin
