hello and welcome! a good start

The templare looks unfinished. The cloak needs shading like you did Boris\'s. The grey in the helm area looks like unfinished/unprimed gw grey plastic. (It may well not be, but it looks like it.)
Boris is a big step forward. The cloak is shaded. I\'m guessing you found a bottle of Vellajo \"Smoke\" or GW \"Flesh Wash\"? It is still a big step forward. The eyes need a bit of work on him still (he looks scared).
The dragon is your best. Granted, animals are a bit easier (just a bit) because we don\'t have a mental map of how the face has to be or appear wrong. But, the dragon is shaded better than Boris. The eye still needs a larger pupil (IMO). I like the chest scales and the horns.
Don\'t fret that you photo work is not top notch. Many here take a while to get the hang of it. When I saw my own first posted mini sitting on my screen at nearly 1000% I would have sworn it was not my hard work there, but one of my kids maybe.
Post wip\'s in that area and I expect to see great things from you in the near future.

Thanks all for the kind words and advice, it is much appreciated.
My current submissions are a bit of a jumble - all of pictures in my gallery are of peices that I had completed before I joined, so they span a long period of time, as much as two years between some of them.
I\'ve got about five or six more past peices that I am going to add, then it will be new peices as I finish them.

The dragon really stands out as the best piece. Plenty of contrast in the highlighting.
It\'s what the smaller figures lack - you could almost go back to them (especially the Rackham piece) and add another layer or two of highlighting to them. Might be worth a go to see what difference it makes to your score.....
