Well, in my defence that section of my website shows all the photos I've shared on the web in the past 8 years. It may seem prolific but it covers a very long period. Did you enjoy the pictures then? 
Of course I did, Cem; otherwise, I'd have remained silent, and not spent the time going through them.
The following doesn't apply to you.
That's one of the problems with folks posting pix and wanting to have them commented upon: as has been repeatedly stated here by several people, it's easy to praise when you like something, but embarrassing to condemn when you don't. Consequently, and only in my opinion, I feel myself reading a lot of 'advice' that might have been better not given, either because I feel it's mistaken, or that it simply confuses the maker of the picture even further, and to no useful purpose.
One's images are one's spiritual children, born, if one is lucky, from a little kick of joy and - pushing one's luck - ecstasy. It's always painful to see those little brats criticised or ignored, but that's life, and not all of the kids end up with their parchment, despìte socialist dogma to the reverse.
A bad Internet experience can drive a person away, and that resolves nothing, just deprives that person of a possible long-term pleasure. Of course, some sites
are best walked away from, but I'd not rate LuLa amongst them.
Maybe the best advice/help we can offer is direction to sites that we find wonderful, or to books and magazines that may help the person seeking advice. If the novice is too thick to derive an idea of good and bad, for himself, simply from looking at great pictures, then it's already a lost cause trying to help. It's all visual, visceral, nothing at all to do with the head and everything to do with the gut. Intellectual psycho-babble raising
it's cranium above the parapet helps nobody other than the babbler.
Photography is just another form of personal salvation - and it lies within our own hands to grasp or to fumble.
