My Photography
Without a doubt there is some members photos (yours included at times) that I recognize a certain style. I like the term signature used in the context of this thread. I have never looked a what in the photo gives a signature for those I recognize but I would say firstly composition as one part.
I too am trying to develop my own style and / signature and and already recognize my Photos are starting to have a certain composition and pp about them but if this is seen as a signature by others I am yet to find out.
A very interesting topic and will now stick in my mind when viewing others photos.
Please be honest with your Critique of my images. I may not always agree, but I will not be offended - CC assists my learning and is always appreciate

Interesting topic.
I am quite deliberate in my efforts to steer away from a particular style or signature.
I do this to challenge myself and the opinions of others who view my art.
Having said that, I enjoy viewing the works of those who have a particular style.
I found that my images, over time, developed what I call a signature. It wasn't something I consciously set out to do; I wasn't trying to produce a style of image which was unique, or by which I could be recognised. My signature simply evolved.
I've found that I tend to get recognised for the types of images I shoot. On at least one or two occasions, to my amusement, I have had images attributed to me, which I did not shoot. :-)
