Ally,
First let me say I appreciate you giving me the chance to give you a critique on your portfolio. I don't want you to take what I say too seriously here. What I mean by that is photography is a very subjective art, and at the end of the day I don't know how much I believe in portfolio critiques in general because of this. That said I will give you my thoughts on your work as a collection.
Overall your landscape photos are pleasant. What I like is that you have a good eye for mixing foreground and background to create depth and image. Well there is certainly room for development team composition I feel you do have an eye for it I see this especially in the second to last image. Technically speaking I would stay away from cropping your images whenever possible it seems you have a lot of random crops which tells me two things one you didn't get the composition in camera that you were looking for and you were still trying to make the photo work. There is certainly a place for cropping, but I would challenge you to practice capturing an image in camera so that you don't need to.
As an ending though I noticed that your portfolio states that music photography is what you are best at. My question is where is the music photography? As photographers we have to shoot what we love or we will never love what we shoot. If you are into shooting music shoot music! You have great potential but you will not succeed if you force yourself away from what you are drawn to, and your best work will be a result of following this direction. Keep making photographs! Shoot often, daily even and you will go far.
