critique my photos please!?

I glanced over the first page. A couple looked a little out of focus, all could be improved with better composition. Learn the Rule of Thirds and use it until you know when to not use it.

Learn to slow down and actually think about the picture you want to make and how to make it. Don't just look at a scene and immediately snap the shutter - that's just taking a snapshot. Look at it standing, kneeling, sitting, lying flat on your belly. Move a couple feet to the right. Move a couple of feet to the left. Move back. Move closer. Pay as much attention to the background as you do to your subject. When shooting landscapes, use a tripod and keep the horizon horizontal.

That flower might look pretty in the sunlight but what if you get behind it so its between you and the sun? Now its backlit and you have a whole different picture.

In the future, choose 5 or 6 of what you consider your best efforts and link us to them. Then we can actually critique each one in depth.

Wow....I've been practicing photography for at least a year now, but dang I'm no where close to being as good as you. You seem to have an eye for photography.

The only thing I can give you criticism on is your composition. In photography terms, composition means the subject focus of your pictures.

No offense, but a few of those seem kinda boring. The picture on the first page, where the tree is in front of the sun, is pretty cliche. Beautiful, but cliche.

Other than that...I can't really think of anything else to say. You're very good. And if it makes you feel any better....I'm struggling with composition-issues, myself, so arghh I know how it feels.

I really admire your work. Most of it is just terrific.

Like the Black and Whites. I like the sense of balance/imbalance in your composition and the placement of the objects within the frame. You are good. Thank you.

I really like the one with the chain link fence, and the pedal with the drop of water. I didn't get to see the second page cause my computer was acting up again, and I'm was to impatient to wait for it.

You're doing great! ;] Next stop: Photoshop. A little bit on tinkering with the adjustment of colors and all that. But the photography itself, I love it! ;D

it is very hard to give a detailed critique when so many images are presented. I recommend links to no more than five in order to gain a useful response.

Good subjects & imagination. Work on composition.

Adobe photoshop is your new religion

You are really good keep going.
