Hello Prem,
I didn't think your photography was anything special but I do think you could do well with it because you specialize. I have lots of flower photos, like many other people, but I often don't know the name of a flower so I can't effectively market the photos.
I'd suggest you continue to add to your content and improve your photography and keep on marketing yourself to your specialty audience any way that you can. If you can build a following based on your expertise you will have something invaluable.
Here are a few suggestions for adding value-added services that would help you build a name as a specialist:
1. Offer a flower identifying service. Allow people to upload or submit their images to you and then you post the image with your description of it.
2. Always include your homepage url and site name in your correspondence.
2. Trade links with flower resources of all kinds, as well as image related sites. I suggest adding a link before asking for one.
To get you started on that last one, I own http://www.flowerclipart.com which is #1 in google for "flower clip art" and I have added a link to your site. A link back would be appreciated.
