As far as your shots go... You may not want to save them as gifs. They are not so hot a reproducing colors and tones.

I was just thinking the same thing. Personally from the pov from another 14yo, i find them really cool.. not something i'd think of taking in some of the ipctures.

i'd like to see them re-saved as good quality JPG's :thumbup:

I thought the heart made of the shoe strings on the tennis shoes was clever,and thought that the first landscape shot showed potential. I not too long ago went to the state fair and looked at the 14 and under photography exhibits; you are doing as well,or better than, many of your peers here in the USA.

The rough color quality though was a bit jarring.

i absolutely love the converse and the tractor shots. i think inadvertently saving them as gifs really made the color get character that it would otherwise have not had (other than by post processing them to make them specifically look that way).

The shoe one is good - the quote looks a bit tacky to me but it did make me understand the photo which I wouldn't have otherwsie. Maybe a nicer scripted font and/or a dfifferent layout would imrove it a bit?

very good converse, but the others are too ruined from the gif compression. save them in jpg (in fine quality) and post again

i really like the first 2,,, dont care much for the last four.

the garden shots look like either the focus was missed or it was over processed in photoshop.

the tractor and boat look like its got good potential, just a little over processed for my liking.

mmmkay, now the good stuff:

i could actualy see the first one as a golf add. if you could clone the one green flare in the bottom right out of the picture, it would be perfect.

i love the composition of the second one and the saying is clever, but would benefit from a different font

I too love the Converse one and, the first garden shot has potential. It may look much better in jpg as others have said. On the by the sea shot, what did you meter off of? I would also take the two boats out with the clone tool as well. That would keep the foreground objects as the focus.
