I'd appreciate any honest feedback on helping me improve the landing page and other parts of the experience on the site. Is the value prop popping? This site is intended for photographers.

As a website based on critique, I'd like to see an example of a series of photos showing incremental improvement. I know this takes time, but it's the main driver for how others see your site as a benefit to them - increasing their skill level and also participating in critique themselves.

Thank you for taking a look. Yes, that's a part of the idea. You can upload revised photos once you edited based on critiques. Critique is the first step but idea is to create a platform for photogs to collaborate. Thanks for taking a look. Any suggestions for improving home page?

Just a few representational ideas. You're a photography based website, but the the main photo on the page is covered up with a large transparent black box, let the photo serve as the overall branding of your site. Quick web tools mock up - http://i.imgur.com/aI3tFvs.jpg Similarly the other photos on the page are filled with content (but justifiably so) or are far too small. I really feel that the photograph needs to have a stronger presence.

To improve conversion, you could make sign up easier and faster. Perhaps only have fields for email and password?
