Wow, these images are amazing and don't forget, that whatever your preference of how the image should be captured, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
We can all perceive the same image in a myriad of different ways, so capture the image true to your heart and your eye, not by what the 'rules' are.
Good luck and I can't wait to see more.
