I like all your photos. However, I'm not confident what the story is here. Maybe a love for adventure or good times. The first two sets of images seem to go together, and then the last two are entirely different, which appears to have thrown me off. There should've been less variety in clothing to make it seem like a day in the life or, more variety, each photo having a different background and story. Depending on what story you were trying to tell.
I want to start by saying I love the last photo, The way you were able to capture the laughter beyond the cigarette smoke, and the cloud of smoke shows you have grasped the concept of "decisive moment." I love the neutral yet textured background. It adds dimension to the photo without taking too much attention away from the photographed man.
The first photo the face looks a bit grainy as if you were maybe trying to capture freeze motion but used too high of shutter speed while holding the camera.
The second photo I would move to the second to last picture because the lighting looks like it might have been late afternoon. Moving this photo would also give the illusion of more variety within your sequence by not having two greenery backgrounds. This photo would've been better to have seen the exposure adjusted to see the sky in the distance instead of the white ambiance.
The third photo I also really enjoy, the focus is very sharp, and the lighting is just right. However, I think with the fourth photo, this one isn't necessary.
In the fourth photo, I love the detail behind all of it. From the man being the four ground, the focal point being all of the lights and control systems, to the background's sky and landscape, this is just a fantastic photo. The clear sky in the third photo makes me wish it would've been as visible in this one. I think the blue would've balanced well with the blue shirt in the foreground and the greenery.
Regarding the fifth photo, I love the vibrant colors, all the visible detail, especially the waves crashing against the rocks, very nice.
Overall I love you photos, and the adventurous, relaxed mood you've captured makes me wish I were on these adventures with you, great work!
