Portraiture Macro & Photoshop

This is my creation for blending the three of my interests into one picture. I was rearranging my photo folders in the hard drive and I noticed I have spent too much time on portraiture and neglected the other topics. 

Besides, I feel that I'm going nowhere with my portraiture. Swimming in a pond, composing the same scenery over and over again. I've not attended any lessons for photography since I started. I pick up from books, internet and my weekly shoots. How can I break away from this bottleneck? Think I'll take a break from portraiture for now. However, I've promised a few TFCD assignemnts and actual wedding day shoots in advance. I'll try my very best to complete the assigments. 

Think I'll go for some short courses if time permits or will read up more and explore different approaches in portraiture. Some might ask why am I so serious in achieving results since photography is not my main job. Well, the reason is because I have always regard photography as a serious hobby.  A passion that got into me when I saw my dad taking photographs with his TLRs in my childhood days.
