Exclamation In need of honest opinions

Hallo everyone...
I recently started an online gallery... no selling features... just a showcase basically. I am wondering if it will work if I start selling these pictures...
I know I am asking for much... but I would really appreciate some feedback on the gallery...
-Are the pictures good enough to wow poeple to buy them?
-Is there anything special about my style of photography? I heard conflicting things from "non photography poeple" so I am turning to my trusted fellow DPS users.
And finally there's a great price range on the internet for this style of photography... starting from a couple of buck to a couple of thousand bucks... How do i price my pictures?
Thank you kindly for all.
my gallery: Baajero... Dissecting The Scenes
Please be honest... don't worry that you might hurt my feelings I am seeking your honest opinion

I think they are very sellable. There are a few that I love, that evoked a very strong reaction...the tree looking at its own leaves..the pebbles..

have you considered a photo book collection? I love your comments and thoughts on your work, I would definitely buy a book, (live in a small house with no room for much wall art..)

Thanks for your comment etexjess I'm not quite sure what you mean by photo book collection... I have to say though I don't think i'm at a level where i can write a photography book yet I have owned a dSLR for a year now... and god it's a huge world... If I keep my learning level at the level I am at now... I will think about writing a photography book in at least 5 years lol...
Thank you kindly once again for your comment

You have some beautiful photographs there. Clearly you are spoilt for choice when it comes to great scenic spots to shoot but I like your eye on some of the detailed and hidden scenes as well.

As for selling your photos, personally I wouldn't buy someone else's photography (not that mine is as good as yours) but thats just me. Although I could easily see these in a gallery/online for sale. As for prices, can't help you there as I just have no idea. But I would suggest that you do your research as far as costings go, I am sure that there are some more experienced people here who could give you advice in what to consider if you do decide to sell your photos.

Your photos are very nice.

Sadly, there really isn't much of a market for sellng photos online. I've had my gallery up for a couple years now, and rarely sell anything. And when I say rarely, I mean a few times a year.

Thanks for your comment it always feel great to have a photographer like you say my work is good have you tried to sell your stuff... the only reason i'm asking is because I think your pictures are better... so if you didn't manage to sell anything then i'm in trouble

Thanks for your comment ya pricing is tricky... the problem is once you set your price and announce it you're kind of stuck with it and can't really change it much
