hey everyone first picture post would like your input on composition exposure color etc thanks.

OK so went back in and adjusted exposure. did I go to far? I tend to underexpose a lot of my pictures I don't know why I lean more that way. Thanks for the input.

It's under exposed and the vignette is too heavy.

Very underexpose, and too much vignette. I agree.

Sweet Bob Ross though.

I agree with what has been said about the vignette and under-exposed-ness. Although, I'm not really qualified to judge because I like to put highlights in everything. I don't like your watermark either.

the 2nd image is great and i like the vignette
i assume the previous comments were for the 1st pic

#2 exposure is much better, the vignette is too heavy for this type of photograph, I would start without any and then add until you start to notice it and then back it off a bit. It will look more natural that way.

I'd agree on too much vignetting.

boy that GH has looong antennae. is there any rule/concept that you don't want to cut off antenna (like feet, arms, etc in portraiture) ?

the antennae at the end was so blurred i cropped it out to make more focus on the gh. thanks for all comments anything else.
