Your photography is nice. But you need to have 'photography' or 'photo' in the titles. Need to work on your titles and SEO. For example your photo, "In The Minority" i'm assuming is the title of your work but it cannot be found because there are no relevant searchable terms. Maybe it could be, "Animal photography calf in a ranch" and then you can include the actual title you gave the photo into the description. Hope that makes sense.

And one more thing, is your shop banner intended to be out of focus? If it's not (and you're selling photography) I would make it clear and sharp and add your full name or shop name for recognition.

You have great photography. It just needs to be seen.

Hi Mark,

I agree with contempo cranes, you need to make more of the idea that what you are listing are photographs. I also wonder if having the actual rustic water fountains in your shop might be a little distracting.. I see that you love both of those things, but perhaps they should be listed in a different shop? It is a bit confusing that the pictures of the fountains just look like the photos you are selling. And are in some cases!

I love the photo of your dad for the story behind your shop name, and I would love to know the story behind the photo, too! It's good that you give some information about each of your photos. You could expand on this even more, I think people love to hear the background tale!

Fantastic vivid photography. Good luck!
