this seems rather plain and boring, the angle really does nothing from what I'm assuming was your intent, I'm also interested in how you managed to blow out the sky at iso 80.. you've done this on almost all of your images.. and as a matter of fact they were all shot at 80 iso? if you're not aware of how, I'd suggest reading your camera manual again on how to change your camera's settings, I'd also be inclined to know how most post processing you do with your work. There are a number of shots that have a DOF that's near impossible with the f stop registered... it seems to me that you simply greyscaled the image rather than doing things the proper way via channel mixing. I'd certainly keep shooting, but really, think more before pressing the shutter, you're not doing anyone a favour right now with the items you're photographing, least of all yourself... know your camera inside and out before setting off to shoot as well.

thanks for a thorough comment.

there was no sky in the picture - the bright background can be seen because the sun shone right there.

I greyscaled the photo and added a low glow effect - that's all. I'm not too satisifed with the angle, but I think that the picture itself captures the atmosphere of a desolete forest.
