Just as the subject says...can you overuse a theme? I realize that some shots work for certain themes and some just don't.
I got a shot today that I personally liked. But I seem to like using this theme alot more than just regular photos.
Here is the pic from today:
Here are a couple of other shots I've taken using this theme:
Am I overdoing it with this theme?
You should start participating in the challenges already! Overusing a theme or having your own style? I personally think you'll get far with those kind of shots. Hope to see you in a challenge soon! :D
So, exactly what theme are you talking about? The sepia? or something else. I really like the photos and you should take lots of shots of what you like. I have some favorite places I go to and I take many of the same shots but there are subtle yet significant differences. I have been using black and white and sepia a lot in my images because it really emphasizes the composition, shapes and details in an image.
Someone posted a great link earlier - I wish I bookmarked it. The author of a tutorial about "photographers that stand out" said that, as an editor, he looks for photographers who go with themes and who have a distinct look in their work/portfolio.
Regardless of that advice though, your photos are stunning. I wouldn't change a thing.

Just the overall tone of the image. I guess some would argue that it's boring because of the same color throughout the entire photo.
In most of the books I've read they have said to pick a theme and stick to it. I guess that's what I am more or less trying to do.
I really appreciate all the comments though, they are awfully helpful when taking new pics.
It's more of a style than a theme and most people develop one eventually. I use a lot of duo, tri, and quadtones in my images also. It's whatever you enjoy most.
Your brodge shot is amazzzzing! I would like to know what was your post processing steps! :-)
Basically I apply a very, very slight Gaussian blur, adjust brightness and conrtrast to fit with the shot, then in an adjustment layer I adjust the hue, saturation, etc... there.
