Well, all of the photos are different. There's not style here. Seems like these were taken with a point and shoot camera.

2-ok so how are they...
The blurry photos need to go. While you may like the style, it makes people who look at them nauseous.

3-if they are not good how can i improve
Google "The Rule Of Thirds." that is the best rule in photography.

4-lastly-which is your favorite, and why? and which is your least favorite

I liked number 5. It was the only one that stood out to me. I like it because the subject frames the picture.

That's a great job. God speed.

The ones that i liked the most are the first and last pic. the rest of them i just didn't like them....sorry ,, but would love to see what the others have to say.. i wan't to read their opinion too! good job.

Start using a tripod, especially when it comes to photos in low-light. Also, start experimenting with manual settings on your camera (if you don't already) such as the ISO or shutter speed. You could get some great effects by having a longer shutter speed.

If I had to choose, my favorite is the second one.

I think you should focus more on 'alive' pictures rather than nature. It is much more easy to photograph people in a city ( and not so commun) then a street. So you can start off by that and then photograph nature if it's what you want.

The pictures are not so bad, I mean I've seen worst, but you have a long way to go. What you need is to make a unique picture.

i only like the second one. they have no real subject or direction. you have nothing in the pictures that actually grab the audiences eye and make them focus. like the one with the branches, im not quite sure which one it is, it would have been better in my opinion if you focused the moon in between the branches off center a bit. that would give your picture definition. you just need some more practice and direction. keep working at it and if you want to be a photographer then follow your dream good luck.

Blurriness from camera shake is not generally regarded as an artistic effect-- it's seen as a mistake.

Fix it up and re-submit.

2. You're biased... Blur should be part of an artistic vision, not improper aperture, shutter speed, camera shake, etc...

4. #6 is the one I like the most. Droplets on the window are crystal clear and the buildings in the background are blurry... ; ) Good job!

I got dizzy when I looked at the first one--I think you did not purposely take this photo like so--but rather, from not having a tripod or something to hold the camera steadily.

Your camera should be mounted on a tripod--or if it's a point & shoot and there is no tripod socket, place it on top of something that won't move--and use the self timer, or a cable release, to take the photo, like this:

(1.5 second exposure).

You are 17 so time is on your side
BUT
They are all awful. Regardless of what your Grandma says, they are all terrible.
Style - Standard beginner trying to be arty but failing miserably.
Pick a different subject than whatever is outside your house at night.
I have no favourite at all

Being a photographer is NOT all about pleasing oneself. That is being a hobby-photographer.
A professional photographer has to satisfy the client and not their own family - or not get paid.
Before any delusions are completely destroyed, do go away for a month or two, try to get something that any viewer would appreciate, and then come back.
As it is now, all that I have seen are only worthy of deletion.

If honesty is what you want, and it IS what you need, there ya go.

Try these as a source of inspiration:

I love all of them, especially the last because it's just so creative and beautiful, unlike anything else i've seen!
You'd make an awesome photographer!!
I'd call it ..yeah, nature.. not really abstract, except the last one kinda is for some reason... i'd call your photos mysterious, creative and natural :)
I love it!!
