Hello William and welcome to hive!
I see that you have top notch photography here but you are still at the phase that rewards are so small that might discourage you. I know because I've been there and I remember the feeling.
If you don't mind a piece of advice from an older fellow hiver, maybe you should try writing longer posts, with more pictures, telling us a part of the story behind the photographs.
I am also leaving you a link to the post of an experienced curator that might help you get the whole picture.
I hope you'll have a great time in hive.
Cheers!
Thank you! I'll read the link. And thank you for the compliment regarding my photos.
