What are you looking for? If you want your pics rated and/or critiqued, you can upload them to photo.net and request a critique.
Assuming that you are a three-week old beginner, the pics are very good. I don't really buy it though. I feel as though this thread is somewhat just fishing for compliments. You don't sound like a beginner in the way you describe or present your shots.

im honest to god a beginner. never studied photography.. i have a modelling background, and apart from that sat there testing every iso and aperture setting i possibly could and reading through photography magazines.and thats my experience. i research a fair bit on lenses and cameras and all that stuff, but other than that i just take the pictures and the settings i desire.
im not fishing for compliments, i work at a factory with an "ex" professional photographer who thinks highly of my pictures..the basis of this post was for everyday photographers, beginners, professionals and whoever can give me advice on where to improve..
cheers

From the "About This Forum" description (a couple of inches under the link you click to post a thread):
Picture posts are acceptable, although this not a "No Words" forum. Critique request posts belong in the Critique Forum. Pictures posted here should be solely for discussing specific techniques/issues.
In other words, this isn't the place for "Look at these! What do you think?" posts. There should be specific issues you're looking for feedback on.
