Well TBH I’ve seen a LOT worse. I wouldn’t say there is anything majorly wrong, just a few things that need picking up on.

The vignetting is far too much on some images, and I’m not crazy about some of the PPing with the bleached look on a LOT of images.

And what is going on here?

You have lots of this image, but why on earth have you kept the distorted images? In fact, why on earth are they even on FB in the first place? Is it for the cover image? If so, why would you want this image as the first image your customer sees? I’d see it and go- oh dear, better look for another ‘tog.

Also, do you have the lighting to achieve this? (is this your image? I’d be inclined to say “no”)

This was taken using portable studio kit. Do you have this? And the skill to recreate what is in this image? If you do, then good for you. If not, you won’t be able to produce this image, so it’s false advertising.

Some images aren’t sharp and some don’t have the DOF they need to work (butterfly shot).

On the plus side, most of your images, IMO, are quite good, at least from a content and composition perspective. Maybe a little improvement work is needed, but personally I don’t see you being on this site with any of your work.

You certainly have some creativity that a lot of fauxtogs don’t
