Hi everyone!

I'm an amateur ''photographer'' and I take pictures with my Samsung Galaxy S5. I'm planning on buying a real camera but before that I would like to know if these are any good. Any type of feedback is welcome.

Pretty good for phone camera pics. I think the castle shot and the sky-diver shot are both pretty good. The issue with a smartphone camera is the semi-wide-angle lens length: the phone camera offers NO 'telephoto look' possibilities, so it makes the mid- and long-distance things physically small in the image.

A "real" camera with a zoom lens, like an 18-55mm kit zoom, will allow you more options in terms of what lens "looks" you can put into the images; getting a tele-zoom, like a 55-200,55-250,or 70-300mm zoom, will allow you to create true telephoto-look photos.

Agree with all Derrel said.
I would add that IMHO you have good ideas for photos but I'd like to see a bit less "right in the middle" stuff. The frost on the fruit may do better off center and the pink flower perhaps at a higher angle?

I agree with both of the above replies. It is amazing what smartphone cameras are capable of these day's and you have some nice images from your smartphone. Having a "real camera" does not guarantee good images, since a great or even good photograph relies on the photographers vision and ability to use his/her tools, light etc. to turn that vision into a successful photograph. Judging by these images you have shared, you are on your way and likely to benefit by having a dslr with at least a kit zoom lens as a start.
